Given the statement:
Copy Central prints black and white or colored copies. Yesterday, they printed 7 black and white copies for every 2 colored copies. If they printed 200 color copies
Determine the number of black copies and white copies that were printed.
Solution:
In order to solve for the number of black and white copies, we will first represent the statement in ratio form.
7:2 = Black and White : Colored
Black and White / Colored = 7/2
Black and White / 200 = 7/2
Black and White = 200(7)/2
Black and White = 1400/2
Black and White = 700 copies
Final answer:
Copy Central prints printed 700 copies of black and white.
