For every 3 sweets that Ivory has, Marion has 9 more sweets than her. They have 60 sweets altogether. How many sweets does Marion have?
Number of sweets that Marion has in 1 set
= 3 + 9
= 12
Total number of sweets in 1 set
= 12 + 3
= 15
Number of sets
= 60 ÷ 15
= 4
Number of sweets that Marion has
= 4 x 12
= 48
Answer(s): 48
