Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

A cafe sells cakes and scones.On Tuesday, the ratio of the number of cakes sold to the number of scones sold was 5:2. On Tuesday, the cafe sold 80 scones.

To find :-

How many cakes were sold on Tuesday?

Solution :-

Given that :

On Tuesday, the ratio of the number of cakes sold to the number of scones sold = 5:2.

Let they be 5X and 2X

The number of cakes were sold = 5X

The number of scones were sold = 2X

According to the given problem

Number of scones were sold = 80

=> 2X = 80

=> X = 80/2

=> X = 40

So ,The value of X = 40

Now,

5X = 5×40 = 200

2X = 2×40 = 80

Answer:-

The number of cakes were sold on Tuesday in the cafe = 200

Check:-

The number of cakes = 200

The number of scones = 80

Their ratio = 200:80

=> 200/80

=> 20/8

=>5/2

=> 5:2

Verified the given relations in the given problem

Used formulae:-

• a:b can be written as a/b

Answer 2
