At a bake sale there were 24 raisin cookies sold. If the ratio of raisin cookies sold to oatmeal cookies sold was 6 : 5, what is the combined amount of raisin and oatmeal cookies sold?
there are 24 raisin cookies, and the ratio is 6:5. If you divide 24/6, you get 4 so each 1 in the ratio stands for 4 so you multiply 5*4, and get 20 then add 24+20=44
