Answer:

$700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The ratio of taxes to profits is 7:3.

The taxes and profits total $1000.

Question asked:

Amount of taxes = ?

Solution:

Let ratios = x

And amount of taxes = 7x

Then amount of profit = 3x

Sum of amount of taxes and profits = $1000.(given)

                                                           = 7x + 3x = 1000\\= 10x = 1000\\

by dividing both side by 10

                                                         x = 100

Thus, amount of taxes = 7x = 7\times100 = 700

Thus, amount of profits = 3x = 3\times100 = 300

Five cakes cost £2.50 how much do seven cakes cost
leonid [27]
To get the answer. you have to find the unit rate.
To find the unit rate, divide 2.50 by 5 which is 0.5 or 50 cents.
(You can check to see if you did this right by multiplying, so .5x5=2.5)
Then you multiply .5 by 7 which is 3.5, or $3.50.
