Respuesta :

apologiabiology
ok, this quetison is worded wierdly

simplification:
rock:total for ella=25:40

Pablo rock=50
rock:total for pablo=rock:total for ella

so basically we have

rock:total=25:40
and rock=50

easy
rock=25 units
50=rock
50=25 units
divide both sides by 25
2=1unit

total=40 units
40 times 2=80
they each hav a total of 80 cds


answer is B
