Paula and Pedro were selling water bottles to raise money for their school. The ratio of water bottles Paula sold to water bottles Pedro sold is 3:5. If together Paula & Pedro sold a total of 72 water bottles, how many did each sell?

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of bottles Paula sold

y = number of bottles Pedro sold

x + y = 72

x = 72 - y

x/y = 3/5

(72 - y)/y = 3/5

5(72 - y) = 3y

360 - 5y = 3y

360 = 8y

y = 45

x + y = 72

x + 45 = 72

x = 27

so,

Paula sold 27 water bottles, and Pedro sold 45.
