Question

the cost of meat fruit and vegetable are in a ratio of 2:2:3 fund the total cost​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 2 + 2 + 3 = 7 (total of all food items)

meat -- 2/7 of what is 2.40

2/7x = 2.40

x = 2.40 / (2/7)

x = 2.40 * 7/2

x = 16.8/2

x = 8.40

• so the total cost of all food items is $ 8.40

• total cost of meat ... 2/7 of 8.40 = 2.40
• total cost of veggies...2/7 of 8.40 = 2.40
• total cost of fruit...3/7 of 8.40 = 3.60
• total cost for all food items...$ 8.40
