Answer:
9375
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Candy maker put prizes in 600 bags of candy.
Let x be the bags having no prize,
So, the total number of bags of candies = x + 600
Thus, the ratio of candies bag with price and total bags = [tex]\frac{600}{x+600}[/tex]
∵ Out of 125 bags, 8 bags have price.
i.e. the ratio of the candies bag with price and total bags = [tex]\frac{8}{125}[/tex]
[tex]\implies \frac{600}{x+600}=\frac{8}{125}[/tex]
[tex]125(600) = 8(x+600)[/tex]
[tex]75000 = 8x + 4800[/tex]
[tex]70200= 8x[/tex]
[tex]\implies x = \frac{70200}{8}=8775[/tex]
Hence, the total number of bags of candies = x + 600 = 8775 + 600 = 9375
