A collector has 80 movie posters and 50 band posters. She wants to sell 40 movie posters but still have her poster collection maintain the same ratio of 80:50. If she sells 40 movie posters, how many band posters should she sell? Complete the explanation to find out how many band posters should she sell.
She should sell 25 movie band posters. The way to find it is you divide 80 by 40 and you get 2 then you divide 50 by 2 and you get 25 so the ratio now is 40:25 which is equal to 80:50. I hope this helps!
