Answer 1

The ratio of the sale of eggs on a Sunday and that of the whole week=2:9⇒$\frac{2}{9}$

Value of eggs that week=360

Let the value of eggs on Sunday be x

Ratio of value of eggs from on a Sunday and that of the whole week=x:360⇒$\frac{x}{360}$

SO,

2:9=x:360

$\frac{2}{9}=\frac{x}{360}$

By cross-multiplication,

9x=2X360

x=$\frac{2*360}{9}$

x=$2*40$

x=80

Therefore, value of eggs on Sunday=80
