In a bowl there are only strawberry, lime, lemon and orange flavoured sweets.
A sweet is taken at random from the bowl.
The table shows the probabilities that the sweet will be lemon flavoured or will be orange flavoured.
| Flavour | Strawberry | Lime | Lemon | Orange |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Probability | 0.10 | 0.20 |
The probability that the sweet is strawberry flavoured is three times the probability that it is lime flavoured.
There are 12 lemon flavoured sweets in the bowl.
Work out the number of strawberry flavoured sweets in the bowl.
