burger barn

Question

The burger barn sells 3 hamburgers for every 2 cheese burgers.A total of 60 hamburgers were sold.How many of them were cheese burgers?

Answer 1

3 hamburgers for 2 cheeseburgers.

 

We can set up a proportion to find the number of cheeseburgers.

 

 

Ratio of hamburgers = ratio of cheese burgers.

 

3 / 60 = 2 / x

 

 

Cross multiply.

 

3x = 120

  x = 40

 

There are 40 cheeseburgers.
