For every 10 sweets that Hazel has, Vanessa has 2 more sweets than her. They have 44 sweets altogether. How many sweets does Vanessa have?
Number of sweets that Vanessa has in 1 set
= 10 + 2
= 12
Total number of sweets in 1 set
= 12 + 10
= 22
Number of sets
= 44 ÷ 22
= 2
Number of sweets that Vanessa has
= 2 x 12
= 24
Answer(s): 24
