You can put this solution on YOUR website! A company ordered raw potatoes in 3 sizes:, small, medium, and large, in the ratio of 7:8:5, respectively. If he ordered 2,200 kilos, how many of each size was ordered?
------------------
Equation:
7x + 8x+5x = 2200
20x = 2200
x = 110
---
7x = 770
8x = 880
5x = 550
