Question:

At an ice cream shop the ratio of sugar cones sold to waffle cones sold is 9 : 7. If there are 81 sugar cones sold, how many waffles cones would be sold?

Answer:

63 waffles were sold

Solution:

Given that,

An ice cream shop the ratio is 9:7

Therefore,

Ratio of sugar cone and waffle is 9 : 7

Let the number of waffles sold be 7x

Let the number of sugar cones sold be 9x

81 sugar cones were sold

Therefore,

9x = 81

x = 9

To find: Number of waffle sold

number of waffles sold = 7x = 7 (9) = 63

Thus 63 waffles were sold
