At the start of the week a bookshop had science and art books in the ratio 2:5. By the end of the week, 20% of each type of book
s were sold and 2240 books of both types were unsold. How many books of each type were there at the start of the week?
1 answer:
Let there be 2x science and 5x art books
<span>science books sold = 2x × 0.2 = 0.4x </span>
<span>science books unsold = 2x – 0.4x = 1.6x </span>
<span>art books sold = 5x × 0.2 = x </span>
<span>art books unsold = 5x – x = 4x </span>
<span>total books unsold = 1.6x + 4x = 5.6x </span>
<span>5.6x = 2240 </span>
<span>x = 400 </span>
<span>2x science = 800 </span>
<span>and 5x art books = 2000 </span>
