Soul Chaser, this is the solution to the exercise:
We have 175 bags of snacks
Ratio: Potato Chips 5 : Popcorn 2
Therefore,
5x + 2x = 175
7x = 175
Dividing by 7 at both sides:
7x/7 = 175/7
x = 25
Now, we can estimate the number of snacks, as follows:
• Potato chips = 5x = 5 * 25 = 125
,
• Popcorn = 2x = 2 * 25 = 50
We have 125 bags of Potato chips.
