Mary has two bags of sweets, each of which contains the same number of sweets. she eats four sweets. she then finds that she has 30 sweets left. how many sweets were in each bag to start with?

Given that Mary has 2 bags of sweets. each of which contains same number of sweets.

Let us assume each bag contains x  number of sweets.

After eating 4 sweets, total number of sweets left in two bags = x+x-4=2x-4

But given 2x-4 = 30

                2x-4+4 = 30+4

                 2x=34

Hence there are 17 sweets in each bag at starting.

answer: 8d

step-by-step explanation:

45+5= 50+5=55+5=60

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. to answer your question, yes, nonzero numbers can have a greatest common factor and that would be 1. still don't get it? let me considering every number is divisible by 1 and hence every number has 1 as a factor of theirs. so, if 2 nonzero numbers didn't share any gcf (greatest common factor), they would still have a factor in common and that would be 1.

i hope that this ! : p
