Ok so you divide them and then make sure that 1 is the denominator and the numerator can be anything else
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
There are many ways to approach this problem. I like a method that uses the least amount of computation. We could figure how much Wendy makes on a bag of chips, the additional amount Wendy wants to make, then divide the latter by the former to find the number of additional bags to sell.
We could use a proportion to figure the number of bags corresponding to $126 in earnings, then subtract the 72 bags already sold. Essentially, we will do this, but without the intermediate numbers.

The additional fraction of 72 bags will be ...
(126/108) -1 = 18/108 = 1/6
Then Wendy must sell an additional ...
(1/6)×(72 bags) = 12 bags
to increase her earnings to $126.
