put this solution on YOUR website!The ratio of Brand "Y" golf balls sold to Brand "X" golf balls sold was 4 to 5. If there were 22 fewer Brand "Y" golf ablls than Brand "X" golf balls, then how many Brand "X" golf balls were sold?
-------------
Let number of brand Y balls be 4x
Then number of brand x balls is 5x
---------
EQUATION:
# of y balls + 22 = # of x balls
4x+22 = 5x
x=22
--------
# of x balls = 5x = 5*22 = 110
