Astore sells 2 printers for every 5 computers. the store sells 40 computers. how many printers does the store sell? complete the ratio table to solve the problem.

Lets think of 2 printers for every 5 computers as a "set"
First lets determine how many sets were sold to get to 40 computers
use the equation 5x = 40 to find that x = 8 which means 8 sets were sold to get 5 computers to 40
now we should apply this knowledge to the printers
use the equation 2(8) = 16. This means 16 printers were sold!
Hope this helped!
