Question 877050
w, x, y, z are the quantities Snickers, Bounty, Cherry Ripes, Mars.


{{{(w/x)/(y/z)=17/12}}};
w=34, x=15, y=40, z=unknown.


Use the complicated ratio equation to solve for z.
{{{(w/x)(z/y)=17/12}}}
{{{(wz)/(xy)=17/12}}}
{{{highlight_green(z=(17/12)(xy)/w=highlight_green((17xy)/(12w)))}}}.


Now just substitute the given values and compute z.
