White chocolate eggs are sold in packs of four.
Milk chocolate eggs as sold in packs of nine.
On Thursday-
The number of packs of white chocolate eggs: the number of packs of milk chocolate eggs = 3: 4
A total of 144 chocolate eggs were sold.
Work out the number of white chocolate eggs that were sold on Thursday.
Answer:
Ratio of white chocolate eggs to milk chocolate eggs:
3 x 4 : 4 x 9
12 : 36
12 + 36 = 48
144/ 48 = 3
So number of white chocolate eggs sold = 12 x 3 = 36
