A fast food restaurant sold 64 burgers with cheese. If the ratio of burgers sold with cheese compared to without cheese was 8 : 1, how many burgers did they sell total?
Total number of burgers sold by the restaurant with cheese = x Ratio of the total number of burgers with cheese to total number of burgers without cheese = 8 :1 Let us assume the common ratio to be = x then 8x = 64 x = 64/8 = 8 So The number of burgers sold without cheese = 8 * 1 = 8 Then The total number of burgers sold by the fast food restaurant = 64 + 8 = 72 So the total number of burgers sold by the fast food restaurant is 72. I hope the procedure is clear enough for you to understand.
