Answer 2

Suppose that supermarket has not sell any ham yet.
In the morning,
x = the amount of turkey
y = the amount of ham
rate of these food \[\frac{ x }{ 7 } = \frac{ y }{ 3 }\]
By the end of the day,
x - 15 = turkey remaining
y = amount of ham (was not sold any)
rate of those food \[\frac{ x-15 }{ 3 } = \frac{ y }{ 2 }\]
Now u can find the answer
