Question

At an ice cream shop the ratio of sugar cones sold to waffles cones sold is 7:5. If there are 63 sugar cones sold, how many waffles cones would be sold

Answer 1

Answer:

$45$

Explanation:

Given the ratio of sugar cones sold to waffles cones sold is $7 :5$

Then the number of sugar cone sold is equal to $7x$ and the number of waffles cone sold is equal to $5x$

Given that total number of sugar cone sold is $63$, the value of x can be derived

$63 = 7x\\x = \frac{63}{7} \\x = 9$

Therefore the number of waffle cones sold is equal to

$5 * 9\\= 45$
