Question

The ratio of shoes sold to sandals sold was 9: 5. If there were 72 shoes sold, how many
Sandals were sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

40 sandals

Step-by-step explanation:

9/5=72/x

9x=72×5

x=40

Answer 2

Let the sandals that were sold be x.

Therefore, 9:5 = 9/5

ATQ,

$\frac{9}{5} = 72x$

=> 9x = 72 X 5

=> 9x = 360

=> X = 40.
