We operate as follows:
**First problem:
*We divide the total number of messes by the value of the sum of the ratio.
391 / (14 + 9) = 17
After that, we multiply this value times the ration for the Gooey messes and we will obtain the number of Gooey messes present in the 391 messes:
17 * 14 = 238
So, we can expect 238 Gooey messes.
**Second problem:
*We have 174 purple yogi berries; we will have to calculate the number of berries that represent the 76% if we want to know how many are not purple. We also have the following ration 24:76 here there are 24 purple yogi berries to 76, not purple yogi berries, now we calculate:
[tex]\frac{24}{76}=\frac{174}{NP}\Rightarrow NP=\frac{174\cdot76}{24}\Rightarrow NP=551[/tex]
So, we would expect 551, not purple yogi berries.
