Respuesta :

33/3=11
1 portion=11
5x11=55
11x1=11
2x11=22
55+11+22=88
ANSWER: 88 sweets in total

For every 5 sweets Fiona has, Peter has 1 sweet and Angad has 2 sweets.

If Fiona has 33 more, that means each of the 8 portions contains 11 sweets.

5-2 = 3
33/3 = 11

Fiona has 55 sweets.
Peter has 11 sweets.
Fiona has 22 sweets.

5x11 = 55
1x11 = 11
2x11 = 22

55+11+22 = 88 sweets in total
