boxes of cookies Leslie sold. Combined, they sold a total of 385 boxes of cookies. How many boxes
of cookies did Leslie sell?

Answer 1

275

Explanation:

Jenna : Leslie

2 : 5

Lets take them as units. E.g Jenna has 2u

2u+5u=7u

7u=385

(we can take 7u=385 because the ratio always remains the same)

1u=

`385 / 7 = 55`

Leslie has 5u.

5u=

`5 * 55 = 275`

Answer is 275.
