Question

Miss Emily spent 5/9 of her money on 10 stuffed bears and 5 dolls. She could buy 20 stuffed bears with the rest of her money. What was the ratio of the cost of a doll to the cost of the stuffed bear?

Answer 1

If she started with x dollars,

4/9 x = 20b
x = 45b

10b + 5d = 5/9 x

We want the ratio d/b. So,

10b + 5d = 5/9 * 45b
10b + 5d = 25b
5d = 15b
d/b = 3
