A sports store donates basketballs and soccer balls to the boys and girls club. The ratio of basket balls to soccer balls is 7:6. The store donates 24 soccer balls. How many basketballs do they donate

Respuesta :

The number of basket balls donated is; 28 basket balls

We are told that;

Ratio of basket balls to soccer balls = 7:6

Now, the number of soccer balls donated was 24.

This, means fraction of the total number of balls x for soccer balls was; [6/(7 + 6)]x

Thus;

[6/(7 + 6)]x = 24

6x/13 = 24

6x = 24 × 13

6x = 312

x = 312/6

x = 52 balls

Now, since total balls are 52 and soccer balls are 24, then;

Number of basketballs = 52 - 24

Number of basketballs = 28 basketballs
