At a bake sale there were 72 raisin cookies sold. If the ratio of raisin cookies sold to oatmeal cookies sold was 9:1, what is the combined amount of raisin and oatmeal cookies sold?

Respuesta :

80 cookies all together

Answer:

80 raisin and oatmeal cookies sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 9:1, which means the number of raisin cookies sold was 9 times the amount of oatmeal cookies sold.

Thus, the amount of oatmeal cookies sold is 72/9, or 8.

Then, the combined amount is 8+72 or 80.
