Question

A restaurant sold 35 burgers with cheese if the ratio of the burgers sold with cheese compared to without cheese was 7 : 3 how many burgers did they sell in total

Answer 1

We need to write a proportion to solve this

7/3=35/x

105=7x

divide each side by 7

15=x so, there were 15 burgers without cheese.

We could add the cheese burgers 35 to burgers without cheese 15

35+15=50 burgers were sold.
