Pounds of Red and blue candies in one bag equals 4x + 3x = 7x
the same in 3 bags equals 7x*3 = 21x
pounds of Yellow candies in one bag equals 5x
the same in 5 bags equals 5x*5 = 25x
21x < 25X
Thus Option B is correct.
the same in 3 bags equals 7x*3 = 21x
pounds of Yellow candies in one bag equals 5x
the same in 5 bags equals 5x*5 = 25x
21x < 25X
Thus Option B is correct.
