Let n be the number of minimum chimes needed.
$3500=$12n-$125x5
$4125=$12n
2 and 14/15
Because the first step of subtraction is common denominators
3 and 1 half is also known as 3.5,
3.5 x 3.5 = 12.25
in fractions that is 12 and 1 quarter
It is easier to write the equivalent ratios first, then use that information to find the missing values.
3. ratio: cars/trucks = 3/5, or trucks/cars = 5/3. Missing value: 6/3*5 = 10.
4. ratio: TVs/Computers = 2/7, or Computers/TVs = 7/2. Missing value: 21/7*2 = 6.
