I would think it is round each amount to the nearest thousand dollars.
5x + 4x = 720
9x = 720 (divide by 9)
X= 80
In order to get the bigger ratio, which is 5, you would substitute x for 80. (I'm bad at explaining)
Work:
5(80)= 400
633,248.
The difference of each 3 is that they have different place values.
The 3 on the right side is int he 1000s (thousands) place, and the 3 on the left is in the 10,000s (ten thousands) place. :)
The one in the 10,000s place is 10 times larger than the one in the 1,000s place!
Write the first ratio as 11/100 and set it equal to 22/n.
since 11 x 2=22 you can multiply 100 x 2 and you'll get 200.
*Check*: 11% of 200=22
The answer should be look it up
