Answer:
252 candies
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A = 8x
Let B = 5x
Let C = 10x
10x = 8x + 24 Subtract 8x from both sides
10x - 8x = 24 Do the subtraction
2x = 24 Divide by 2
2x/2 = 24/2 Do the division
x = 12
So Adrian has 8*12 = 96 candies.
Ben has 5 * 12 = 60 candies
Charlie has 10*12 = 120 candies
Total = 276 candies
