Answer:

75 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pip gets 7/(7+5) = 7/12 .

Let Sara get x sweets so Pip gets 7/5 x sweets.

7/5 x = x + 30

2/5 x = 30

x = 5/2 * 30 =  75.

Sara gets 75 sweets.

Answer:

Sara has £75

Step-by-step explanation:

Pip : Sara

7   :    5

5x+30=7x

Where x is £?

Subtract 5x from both sides

30=2x

Divide both sides by 2

x=£15

£15

Pip : Sara

105:  75
