    In the given question, we come to know that Sammy sold 5 bottles for every 3 water bottles sold by David. In this case we get the ratio as 5:3

    Now this ratio indicates that the total number of bottles can be divided into 8 parts for finding out a single part. the total number of water bottles that are sold by Sammy and David together are 160.

    Now on dividing this total number of bottles by 8 we get the 20 as one part.

    The,

    Number of Bottles sold by Sammy = 5 * 20

    = 100

    Number of bottles sold by David = 3 * 20

    = 60

    So Sammy sold 100 water bottles and David sold 60 water bottles from the total of 160 water bottles.
