Question

Bill buys 3 apples for
$1.47. How much would 10
apples cost Bill?

Answer 1

$4.90

Explanation:

You could find this in the ratio method.

3 apples : $1.47

10 apples : x

( We have to find the value of x. This is the cost of 10 apples)

Cross Multiply both the ratios.

3x = 1.47 × 10

3x = 14.7

Bring 3 to the other side, making is being divided upon.

x =
`(14.7)/(3)`

x = 4.9

∴ 10 apples cost $4.90
