To find the number of PS5 consoles at GameStop based on the given ratio of Nintendo Switch to PS5 consoles (4:3) and the information that there are 12 Nintendo Switch consoles:
1. Identify the ratio given: Nintendo Switch to PS5 consoles is 4:3.
2. Determine the total parts in the ratio: 4 parts for Nintendo Switch + 3 parts for PS5 = 7 total parts.
3. Calculate the value of one part of the ratio: Since there are 12 Nintendo Switch consoles and each part corresponds to 12/4 = 3 consoles.
4. Find the total number of PS5 consoles: Multiply the number of parts for PS5 (3 parts) by the value of one part (3 consoles/part) to get 3 * 3 = 9 PS5 consoles.
Therefore, GameStop has 9 PS5 consoles if they have 12 Nintendo Switch consoles and the ratio of Nintendo Switch to PS5 consoles is 4:3.
