    75 sweets.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Pip gets 7 / (7+5) = 7/12.

    Let Sara get x sweets so Pip gets 7/5 x sweets.

    7/5 x = x + 30

    2/5 x = 30

    x = 5/2 * 30 = 75.

    Sara gets 75 sweets.

    Sara has £75

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Pip : Sara

    7 : 5

    If Pip gets £30 more than Sara, then

    5x+30=7x

    Where x is £?

    Subtract 5x from both sides

    30=2x

    Divide both sides by 2

    x=£15

    £15

    Pip : Sara

    105: 75
