Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70107232 A company bought 30 equal cakes brand A and 40 equal cakes brand B, paying a total of $ 1,800.00. Knowing that the ratio between the unit prices of cakes A and B is 2 to 3, in that order, it can be said that if the company had only bought cakes of the Y brand, how much more it would have spent? are you sure you mean Y brand? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 37117982 Japan08/20/2015 04:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 450 was wrong here is my revised answer total 1800 cake a 30 cake b 40 1800 / 70 = 25.71428571428571 25.71428571428571 * 3 = 77.14285714285713 25.71428571428571 * 2 = 51.42857142857142 60/40 % ratio. 60% of 1800 = 1080 40% of 1800 = 720 720 / 40 = 18 1080 / 30 = 36 cake a $18 each cake b $36 each 70 b cakes @ $36 each = 2520 720 extra would be spent buying 70 b cakes. |
