The answer is 48.

<span>Out of 50 people, 4 had a mispriced item: 50 people - 4 mispriced
Out of 600 people, x will have a mispriced item: 600 people - x

Make a proportion:
50 : 4  = 600 : x
50 * x = 4 * 600
50x = 2400
x = 2400 / 50
x = 48</span>

In a candy mix there are 4 green bars for every 3 red bars. How many red bars are there if there are 200 green bars
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Since there are 4 green bars for every 3 red bars and we are trying to find the number of red bars if there are 200 green bars, we can create the ratio:

4 x : 3 y

Where  x  is equal to the number of green bars and  y is the number of red bars.

We know the number of green bars is equal to 200, so we can divide it by 4, giving us:

200 /4=50

Then we can solve for  y , the number of red bars.

// Multiple y  by 50

3 ⋅ 50 = 150

So for every 4 green bars, there are 3 red bars.

For every 200 green bars, there are 150 red bars
