Question

simone earned $5.55 for selling 3 baskets of apples. how much will Simone earn for selling 7 baskets ?

Answer 1

First, we need to know how much Simone earned for 1 basket of apples, so we need to divide 5.55 between 3

`(5.55)/(3)=1.85`

1 basket of apples ------ $1.85

In order to know how much will Simone earn for selling 7 baskets, we multiply the earn for 1 basket by 7

`(1.85)\cdot(7)=12.95`

She will earn $12.95
