    x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let light clothes=x

    Number of dark clothes = 2x + 3,

    Dark clothes are 60% of total clothes

    Light clothes=100%-60%

    =40%

    Light clothes / dark clothes = percentage of light clothes / percentage of dark clothes

    x / 2x+3 = 40 / 60

    x over quantity 2x plus 3 equals 40 over 60
