A paper store sells wrapping paper rolls and bags. In the spring, they order a ratio of 3:7 in wrapping paper and bags. However, to prepare for the holiday season, they adjust the order and use a ratio of 5:5. How many bags were ordered for the holiday season if 150 rolls of wrapping paper were a part of their spring order?

Respuesta :

Answer:

250 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Spring 3:7

       150:x

3x = 1050

x = 350 bags in spring

Total order = 150 + 350 = 500

Holiday Season 5:5

(5+5)x = 10x = 500

x = 50

5 * 50 = 250 bags
