Albertsons grocery planned a big sale on apples and received 990 crates from the wholesale market. Albertsons will bag these apples in plastic. Each plastic bag holds 110 of a crate. If Albertsons has no loss to perishables, how many bags of apples can be prepared?

Since the number of plastic bags is directly proportional to the number of crates we can write:

x : ((1/110)*990) = 1 : (1/110)
