"Pablo's Machos Tacos" sells 7 burritos for every 9 tacos sold. If they sell 63 burritos, how many tacos did they sell?

Let x be the number of tacos sold if he sells 63 burritos

7 burritos = 9 tacos

63 burritos = x

cross-multiply

7x = 9 times 63

7x =567

Divide both-side of the equation by 7

7x/7 = 567/7

x= 81

Therefore; he sold 81 tacos
