You are selling snacks for the local school. You know that you sold 4 sodas for every 3 boxes of popcorn. You also know that you sold 1 hot dog for every two sodas. If you didn’t sell anything else, and you sold 45 items, how many sodas, popcorns and hot dogs did you sell?
Hint
If “S” is the number of sodas, then the number of popcorns is 3/4(S).
Answer
20 sodas, 15 popcorns and 10 hot dogs.
If “S” is the number of sodas, then 3/4(S) is the number of popcorns and 1/2(S) is the number of hot dogs.
