Fiona gets 25 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

Paul, Fiona, and Pip have some sweets in the ratio 4:5:1. Let's call x,y, and z the number of sweets they have respectively.

The ratios can be written as three separate equations:

Paul has 15 more sweets than Pip, then:

x = z + 15        [4]

Multiplying [3] by z:

x = 4z

Substituing in [4]

4z = z + 15

Subtracting z:

3z = 15

z = 15/3 = 5

Multiplying [2] by z:

y = 5z = 5*5 = 25

Fiona gets 25 sweets

25

step-by-step explanation:

sinn is the total amount of students now and m were the students before, you subtract them both (n-m) and divide that by m. then, since to get a percentage from a fraction you have to multiply by 100, your answer should look like this: n-m/m*100
