A pet store sold 18 Siamese cats. Of the ratio of Siamese cats to house cats sold was 9:7 , what is the combined amount of cats sold?
I did the work but I wanted to double check because I got 14 cats

Sagot :

For every 9 cats sold they sold 7 house cats if they sold 18
18/9=2
2*7=14
18+14= 32 cats sold
so 18 siamese
the ratio was9:7=siameese:house
18=9 units
divide 9
2=1 unit
house=7 units
7 times 2=14
14 house cats

combined=siameese+house=18+14=32
