We are told that for every 7 cities, King Kong destroys 2 and Godzilla destroys 5.
\n" ); document.write( "In other words, King Kong destroys 2/7 of the cities and Godzilla destroys 5/7 of the cities.
\n" ); document.write( "Of the 35 cities, let x=number that King Kong destroys and let y=number that Godzilla destroys. Now we can set up ratios:
\n" ); document.write( "For King Kong:2/7=x/35
\n" ); document.write( "7x=70
\n" ); document.write( "x=10
\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "10/35=2/7
\n" ); document.write( "2/7=2/7
\n" ); document.write( "For Godzilla: 5/7=y/35
\n" ); document.write( "7y=175
\n" ); document.write( "y=25
\n" ); document.write( "CK
\n" ); document.write( "5/7=25/35
\n" ); document.write( "5/7=5/7\r
