Accepted Answer

1 : 1. The ratio of L, S, J for popcorn = 7 : 17 : 16 Let them be 7 x x x , 17 x x x and 16 x x x The ratio of L, S, J for chips = 6 : 15 : 14 Let them 6 y y y , 15 y y y and 14 y y y Given, 40 x x x = 35 y y y , x = 7 y 8 x = \frac{7y}{8} x = 8 7 y ​ Jumbo popcor = 16 x x x = 16 * 7 y 8 \frac{7y}{8} 8 7 y
