white : milk : dark

w : m : d

The ratio of white to not white is 3:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4

The ratio of not dark to dark is 17:4.

(w+m) : d = 17:4

---------

We treat the colons as fraction bars and cross multiply.

4w = 3(m+d) = 3m + 3d

4w + 4m = 17 d

Subtracting,

4m = 17d - (3m+3d) = 14d - 3m

7m = 14 d

m/d = 14/7

m:d = 2:1

Since w:(m+d)=3:4 let's make m+d a multiple of 4.

m:d = 8:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4 = 9:12

w:m:d = 9:8:4

Answer: 9:8:4

Check:

white to non white 9 to 8+4=12 = 3:4, good

non dark to dark (9+8):4=17:4, good

Answer:

1. A (85)(0.08)=6.90 then (85)(0.18)=15.30 then 85 + 6.90 + 15.30 =107.10

2. 82.68

Solving;

She was charged $65 before tax. She had to pay a 6% tax (65)(0.06)=3.90 then 65+3.90=68.90

After this she added 20% of the amount after tax rather 20% of 68.90

68.90(0.20)=13.78 then 68.90+13.78=82.68
