Harry bought 3 times as many caramel bars as candy bars. The total mass of caramel bars and candy bars was 1416 g. The mass of candy bars was 216 g less than that of the caramel bars. The mass of 1 candy bar was 41 g heavier than 1 caramel bar.

1. Find the number of caramel bars that Harry bought.
2. Find the mass of 1 candy bar.

	Caramel Bars	Candy Bars	Total
Number of sets	3 sets	1 set
Compare each	1 u	1 u + 41
Total value	816 g	600 g	1416 g

(a)
Mass of candy bars = 1 set
Mass of caramel bars = 3 sets

Mass of candy bars = (1416 - 216) ÷ 2 = 600 g
Mass of caramel bars = 600 + 216 = 816 g

Mass of 1 set of candy bars = 600 g
Mass of 1 set of caramel bars = 816 ÷ 3 = 272 g

Difference in the mass between 1 set of candy bars and 1 set of caramel bars
= 600 - 272
= 328 g

Number of items in each set
= 328 ÷ 41
= 8

Number of caramel bars
= 3 x 8
= 24

(b)
Mass of 1 candy bar
= 600 ÷ 8
= 75 g

Answer(s): (a) 24; (b) 75 g
