    Answer: There are 241 red candies in the bowl. 482 Green candies in bowl.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    241 (is the answer) x2 = 482. There's TWICE as many green as there is red, since there is 241 red candies, we multply that by two (482). Now let's add to check if it is correct. 241+482 = is indeed 723.

    red = 241

    green = 482

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total = 723

    red candies = x

    green candies = y

    ⇒ x + y = 723

    There are twice as many green candies as red candies.

    this means: y = 2x

    x + y = 723

    x + 2x = 723

    3x = 723

    x = 241

    y = 723 - 241 = 482

    To control this y = 2x ⇒ 482 = 2 * 241

    This means that there 241 red candies and 482 green candies.
