Damon is correct.

Surely you can see that 48:80 is not correct. There are only 80 records in all. 48:80 is the correct ratio, but the wrong total.

For every 3 new there are 5 hot.
So, 3:5 requires 8 records.

There are 80 records. 80/8 = 10, so there are 10 sets of 3:5, or

30:50

The sum is 80, as desired.
