Full solution

Q. Charles owns a toy store. There are 88 dolls for every 55 dump trucks in his inventory. If there are 3535 dump trucks, how many dolls are in the store?
  1. Set Ratio: question_prompt: How many dolls are in Charles's toy store if there are 3535 dump trucks and the ratio of dolls to dump trucks is 88 to 55?
  2. Calculate Groups: Step 11: Set up the ratio of dolls to dump trucks, which is 88 dolls for every 55 dump trucks.
  3. Find Total: Step 22: Since there are 3535 dump trucks, we need to find out how many groups of 55 dump trucks there are in 3535. So, we do 35÷535 \div 5.
  4. Multiply Groups: Step 33: Calculate 35÷5=735 \div 5 = 7. This means there are 77 groups of 55 dump trucks.
  5. Calculate Total: Step 44: For every group of 55 dump trucks, there are 88 dolls. So, we multiply the number of groups by 88 to find the total number of dolls. So, we do 7×87 \times 8.
  6. Calculate Total: Step 44: For every group of 55 dump trucks, there are 88 dolls. So, we multiply the number of groups by 88 to find the total number of dolls. So, we do 7×87 \times 8. Step 55: Calculate 7×8=567 \times 8 = 56. So, there are 5656 dolls in the store.
