Question

Marcus bought 48 shirts for $336. How many shirts can he get with $126? *

Answer 1

To find how many shirts can he get with $126 we can use the next proportion:

`\frac{48\text{ shirts}}{x\text{ shirts}}=\frac{336\text{ dollars}}{126\text{ dollars}}`

Solving for x:

48*126 = 336*x

6048/336 = x

18 shirts = x
