The population of Linton is 12 times as great as the population of Ellmore.  The combined population of both towns is 9,646 people.  What is the population of Linton?

Sagot :

your ratio would be 12:1 
add all the parts to get the whole 
13x= 9646
find x by dividing by 13 
you get 742
now just plug x in 
12x= 12 x 742
Linton population is 8904
9646 = L + E
L = 12E
E + 12E
13L = 9646
9646/13 = 742 = E
742 x 12 = 8904 (L)
L is 8904
