The ratio of sports cars to luxury cars sold in Wentworth one month was 3 to 2.
If 20 more sports cars were sold than luxury cars, then how many of each

3x = no. of sports cars
2x = no. of luxury cars

"If 20 more sports cars were sold than luxury cars, then how many of each
were sold that month?:

x = 20 is the multiplier
then
3*20 = 60 sports cars
and
2*20 = 40 luxury cars
