at a certain restaurant , the ratio of the number of cooks to the number of waiters is 3 to 10 . when 12 more waiters are hired , the ratio of the number of cooks to the number of waiters changes to 3 to 14 . how many cooks does the restaurant have ?
"originally there were 3 k cooks and 10 k waiters . 14 k = 10 k + 12 k = 3 there are 9 cooks . the answer is c ."
multiply(divide(12, const_4.0), divide(12, 14))
