A new company selling sports equipment sold 2,835 helmets in their second year of operation. This is 225% of the number of helmets they sold in their first year. How many helmets did the company sell in their first year?

sports Inc sold more helmets

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15

the answer is 18 units because there are 18 small cubes inside the rectangle

hope this and p.s i am also in k12
