A or 5/7, they’re both odd numbers so it cannot be simplified any further
Set a proportion. They are similar triangles.
Here we have 2 variables we need to calculate:
x - how many Volvos Jane sold
y - how many Volvos Melissa sold
We write system of equations:
x = 8*y
x - y = 35
------------
8y - y = 35
7y = 35
y = 5
x = 8*5 = 40
Jane sold 40 cars.
