I need help finding how many notes there are? the ratio of coins to notes in a bag is 3 to 8. if there are a total of 24 coins how many notes are there?

Respuesta :

The ratio of coins to notes in a bag is 3 to 8.

The total number of coins is 24.

Let there be y number of notes in the bag. Then we can write,

[tex]\frac{3}{8}=\frac{24}{y}[/tex]

On solving we get,

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3y=24\times8 \\ y=\frac{24\times8}{3}=64 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus there are 64 notes in the bag.
