If a company sells red, blue, and white tents at a ratio of 5:3:1 and they sell 1,350 tents in one month, how many of each color tent were sold?

A125 red, 825 blue, 400 white
B475 red, 125 blue, 750 white
C750 red, 450 blue, 150 white
D480 red, 720 blue, 150 white

5x=number of red tents
3x=number of blue tents
x=number of white tens

we can suggest this equation:

5x+3x+x=1350
9x=1350
x=1350/9=150

number of red tents=5x=5(150)=750
number of blue tents=3x=3(150)=450
number of white tents=x=150

answer: C. 750 red, 450 blue, 150 white.
