Question 977757: A boy has 380 prize tickets he wants to exchange for action figures at a prize booth. At this prize booth 5 tickets can be exchanged for a large action figure, and 7 tickets can be exchanged for 2 small action figures. The boy wants 4 times as many small action figures as large action figures. Based on this information, can the boy get 80 small action figures? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
If the boy wants 80 small action figures
that is equivalent to 40 x 7 (as 7 tickets
gives him 2 small action figures)
= 280 tickets.
The 380 tickets he has originally minus the
280 leaves 100 tickets to get 20 large action figures
(100/5)
He will have 80 small and 20 large action figures
80:20 = 4:1
Hope this helps:-)
