Answer:

15 puppies

Step-by-step explanation:

A pet store sells puppies and kittens in the ratio 5 : 4

As per the ratio, total puppies and kittens is 5+4= 9

If their sales of puppies and kittens combined came to 27

The ratio of puppies to the total is 5:9

LEt x be the puppies sold

RAtio of puppies sold to the total is x: 27

Now make a proportion using the ratio and solve for x

\frac{5}{9} =\frac{x}{27}

cross multiply it

135=9x

Divide both sides by 9

x=15

S, 15 puppies

So puppies will be 5x and Kittens 4 x so they combined will be 5x+4x=27
9x=27
X=3

The carnival charges $5 admission and $0.50 for each ride. Alex's dad gave him $15 to spend. How many rides can he go on at most
Oxana [17]

Let us suppose number of rides is x.One ride costs $0.50.

Cost of x rides is 0.50x. The carnival charges is $5. Alex has $15 to spend .

Number of rides at most Alex can have can be given by the inequality:

0.50x+5≤ 15

To solve for x we subtract 5 both sides

0.50x≤ 15-5

0.50x≤ 10

Dividing both sides by 0.50 we have :

x≤ 20

Number of rides at most Alex can have is 20.
