Question 1177050
Rings and watches cost $10,275.00.
 The ratio of the number of watches to rings bought is 5:8.
 Each ring cost $137 more than a watch.
 The ratio of the total cost of the rings to watches bought was 7;8
. Find the cost of a ring.
:
This problem is inconsistent.
the first ratio indicates there are more rings than watches
Then it says rings cost more than watches
the last ratio states that total cost for rings is less than total cost for watches
Can't happen!
