Answer 1

Answer:

The School bought 36 packets of plain chips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total number of packets be 'x'

Let No. of plain crisp plain crisp packets be 'y'

Ratio= 5:3

Sum of ratios = (5+3) = 7

No. of salt 'n' vinegar packets = 60

Therefore,

=) 5/7 * x = 60

=) x = 60 * 7/5

=) x = 84 packets

No. of plain crisp packets are:

=) 3/7 * 84 = y

=) 36 packets = y
