Answer: 1 have 210 chocolate covered caramels
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
The ratio of chocolate covered caramels to chocolate covered cherries in my vault is 5 to 2 which can also be written as 5:2
But the number of chocolate covered cherries =84
Total ratio is given as 5+2 = 7
Step 2
such that the total number of chocolate i had would be gotten from
Ratio of chocolate covered cherries/ total ratio x Total chocolates = Number of chocolate covered cherries. Let X = Total number of chocolates
2/7 x X = 84
x= 84 x 7 / 2 =294
Therefore The number of chocolate covered caramels= ratio of chocolate covered caramels/ total ratio x Total chocolates =
5/7 X 294= 210
