Will bought 4 times as many candy canes as caramel bars. The total mass of candy canes and caramel bars was 1680 g. The mass of caramel bars was 280 g less than that of the candy canes. The mass of 1 caramel bar was 65 g heavier than 1 candy cane.

1. Find the number of candy canes that Will bought.
2. Find the mass of 1 caramel bar.

	Candy Canes	Caramel Bars	Total
Number of sets	4 sets	1 set
Compare each	1 u	1 u + 65
Total value	980 g	700 g	1680 g

(a)
Mass of caramel bars = 1 set
Mass of candy canes = 4 sets

Mass of caramel bars = (1680 - 280) ÷ 2 = 700 g
Mass of candy canes = 700 + 280 = 980 g

Mass of 1 set of caramel bars = 700 g
Mass of 1 set of candy canes = 980 ÷ 4 = 245 g

Difference in the mass between 1 set of caramel bars and 1 set of candy canes
= 700 - 245
= 455 g

Number of items in each set
= 455 ÷ 65
= 7

Number of candy canes
= 4 x 7
= 28

(b)
Mass of 1 caramel bar
= 700 ÷ 7
= 100 g

Answer(s): (a) 28; (b) 100 g
