Answer:

Number of Dolls = 28.

Number of Balls = 32.

Number of Cars = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of the number of dolls to the number of balls to the number of cars is 7 : 8 : 5.

Suppose the highest common factor of the three numbers be 'X'.

Then, Number of Dolls = 7x

Number of Balls = 8x

Number of Cars = 5x

Given the total number of dolls, balls, and cars is 80.

It means 7x + 8x + 5x = 80.

20x = 80

x = 80/20 = 4.

So, Number of Dolls = 7*4 = 28.

Number of Balls = 8*4 = 32.

Number of Cars = 5*4 = 20.
