Asked by Anne
In a hardware store the ratio of shovels to rakes is 3:5. If there are 10 more rakes than shovels, how many rakes are there in the hardware store?
I know shovels = r-10 but don't know where to go from there?

if there are 8x tools, then there are 3x shovels and 5x rakes. So,
5x = 3x+10
x=5
so, there are 15 shovels and 25 rakes
5x = 3x+10
x=5
so, there are 15 shovels and 25 rakes
