Question

If 80 pounds of seeds costs $96 what would be the cost of 300 pounds of seeds

Answer 1

Your answer would be 360 because 80 x 3 is 240 and 96 x 3 is 288 then we need to add 60 pounds and to do that we need to find the unit rate of 96 which is 24 and 24 x 3 is 72 + 288 = $360.

Answer 2

The cost would be 360. You divide 300 by 80 to get 3.75 then times it by 96
