Question:
At an ice cream shop the ratio of sugar cones sold to waffle cones sold is 9 : 7. If there are 81 sugar cones sold, how many waffles cones would be sold?
Answer:
63 waffles were sold
Solution:
Given that,
An ice cream shop the ratio is 9:7
Therefore,
Ratio of sugar cone and waffle is 9 : 7
Let the number of waffles sold be 7x
Let the number of sugar cones sold be 9x
81 sugar cones were sold
Therefore,
9x = 81
x = 9
To find: Number of waffle sold
number of waffles sold = 7x = 7(9) = 63
Thus 63 waffles were sold
