A local bookstore carries soft to hard cover books in ratio of 8:3 . If the store has 222 hard cover books how many soft cover books do they have?

Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 592 soft cover books.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are 8x soft cover books and 3x hard cover books. There are 222 hard cover books.

It means,

3x = 222

x = 74

Soft cover book = 8x

Put x = 74 in 8x as follows :

8x = 8(74)

= 592

Hence, there are 592 soft cover books.
