Color and Number of Candies

Then he poured all of the candies out and recorded the number of each colored candy.

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Color & Green & Yellow & Orange & Red & Blue & Purple & Total \\
\hline
Number of Candies & 16 & 7 & 9 & 15 & 5 & 11 & 63 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}



Answer :

Certainly! Let's go through the process step-by-step to determine the total number of candies.

Given the number of candies for each color as follows:

[tex]\[ \begin{align*} \text{Green Candies} & : 16 \\ \text{Yellow Candies} & : 7 \\ \text{Orange Candies} & : 9 \\ \text{Red Candies} & : 15 \\ \text{Blue Candies} & : 5 \\ \text{Purple Candies} & : 11 \\ \end{align*} \][/tex]

To find the total number of candies, we need to add together the number of candies of each color:

[tex]\[ \begin{align*} \text{Total Candies} & = \text{Green Candies} + \text{Yellow Candies} + \text{Orange Candies} + \text{Red Candies} + \text{Blue Candies} + \text{Purple Candies} \\ & = 16 + 7 + 9 + 15 + 5 + 11 \\ & = 63 \\ \end{align*} \][/tex]

So, the total number of candies is [tex]\(63\)[/tex].

Finally, we can update the table to include the total number of candies:

\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline
Color & Green & Yellow & Orange & Red & Blue & Purple & Total \\
\hline
Number of Candies & 16 & 7 & 9 & 15 & 5 & 11 & 63 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

Thus, the step-by-step solution has shown us that the total number of candies is [tex]\(63\)[/tex].
