Question

A store finds out that 5 out of every 9 customers prefer new extra crunch peanut butter. If the store sells 90,000 jars or regular peanut butter, how many jars of new x crunch should it produce ,and how many of regular should it produce ? Have no idea how to do this. please help
Ms. Sue
Cross multiply and solve for x.

5/4 = x/90,000
sorry i still don't understand .What do i cross multiply?
Ms. Sue
5/4 = x/90,000

4x = 450,000

x = 112,500 crunch
thank you
Ms. Sue
You're welcome.
