Question

In a sporting goods store, the ratio of footballs to soccer balls in stock is normally 8: 5. If there are 320 footballs in stock in the store, how many soccer balls are in the store?​

Answer 1

200 soccer balls

Explanation:

Proportion:

8/5 = 320/x

Cross Multiply:

320 x 5 = 1600

8 x X = 8x

Divide:

8x = 1600

x = 1600 / 8

x = 200
