Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 20 candies which are not chocolates are in the bag.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of candies in bag = [tex]x[/tex]

Number of candies that are chocolate =

[tex]\dfrac{4}{9}\text{ of the total candies}[/tex]

Number of chocolate candies in the bag =

[tex]=\dfrac{4}{9}\times x=\dfrac{4x}{9}[/tex]

We are given that x = 36.

We have to find the number of candies which are not chocolates are in the bag.

Number of chocolate candies in the bag =

[tex]=\dfrac{4}{9}\times 36 = 16[/tex]

There are 16 chocolate candies in the bag.

Number of candies that are not chocolate =

[tex]= 36-16\\=20[/tex]

Thus, there are 20 candies which are not chocolates are in the bag.
