Question

Sammy and David are selling water bottles. Sammy sold 5 water bottles for every 3 water bottles David sold. Together they sold 160 water bottles

Answer 1

if we have sold 8 bottles then would be 5 for sammy and 3 for david

for 160 (20 x 8) bottles would be 20 x 5 = 100 for sammy and 20 x 3 = 60 for david.
