Sure, let's solve this step by step:
1. Let's denote the number of sweets that Bunny has by [tex]\( x \)[/tex].
2. According to the problem, Mickey Mouse has twice as many sweets as Bunny. Therefore, Mickey Mouse has [tex]\( 2x \)[/tex] sweets.
3. It is also given that the total number of sweets is 36.
4. We can set up the following equation based on the information provided:
[tex]\[
x + 2x = 36
\][/tex]
5. Combining like terms, we get:
[tex]\[
3x = 36
\][/tex]
6. To find [tex]\( x \)[/tex], we divide both sides of the equation by 3:
[tex]\[
x = \frac{36}{3}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
x = 12
\][/tex]
7. Therefore, Bunny has 12 sweets.
8. Since Mickey Mouse has twice as many sweets as Bunny, we calculate:
[tex]\[
2x = 2 \times 12 = 24
\][/tex]
So, Bunny has 12 sweets and Mickey Mouse has 24 sweets.
