You can put this solution on YOUR website! For a certain time period the ratio of the dollar value of
exports to the dollar value of imports for the United States
was 2 to 3. If the value of exports during that time period
was 48 billion dollars, then what was the value of imports?
-------------------------
2 to 3 is the same as 2x to 3x where 3x is imports.
---------
EQUATION:
2x + 3x = 38 million
5x = 48 million
x = 9.6 million
Ten 3x = 28.8 million
