at the school dance the ratio of students who bought snacks to the students who do not buy snacks is 426 based on this ratio how many of these students would buy a snack if there were a total of 180 students that attended the dance​

Sagot :

200

Let the total number of customers that day be "x"
30% of total customers bought a snack and that is 120.
So we can say:
30% of total (x) is 120
Note: 30% converted to decimal is 30/100 = 0.3
This can be translated to an algebraic equation as:
0.3x = 120
Now, we can solve for x, the total customers:
0.3x = 120
x = 120/0.3
x = 400
Since, 80% bought drink, we find 80% of 400:
80% = 80/100 = 0.8
0.8 * 400 = 320
The store sold 320 drinks and 120 snacks. So drinks outweigh snacks be:
320 - 120 = 200
So,
200 more drinks than snacks
