To find out how many burgers were sold, we need to use the ratio given in the question, which is 4 burgers for every 3 chicken sandwiches.
Given that the store sold 24 chicken sandwiches, we can set up a proportion to solve for the number of burgers sold:
4 burgers / 3 chicken sandwiches = X burgers / 24 chicken sandwiches
Cross-multiplying gives:
4 * 24 = 3 * X
96 = 3X
To solve for X (the number of burgers sold), we divide 96 by 3:
X = 96 / 3
X = 32
Therefore, the store sold 32 burgers.
