Question

A hotel purchases 150 bath towels for 1,800. The hotel later purchases 40 more bath towels for x. If the unit cost remains the same, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

Divide 1,800 by 150. Then, you have your price per towel. Multiply that number by 40.

Answer 2

1800/150 = 12
12*40 = 480
480 dollars
