Explanation

Number of chocolate candies : Number of gummy candies = 3 : 2

We know that the total number of candies is 60, so we can set up the equation:

3x + 2x = 60

where x is a multiplier for both parts of the ratio.

Combine like terms:

5x = 60

Divide by 5:

x = 12

Now, multiply x by the ratio terms to find the number of gummy candies:

Number of gummy candies = 2x = 2(12) = 24

So, there are 24 gummy candies!
