Question

Taylor bought some jeans on sale. The number of jeans she bought is 1-fith the amount of money she spent. She bought 6 jeans. Find the amount of money Taylor spent,

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

Let the amount of money Taylor spent = x

The number of jeans she bought is 1-fith the amount of money she spent. She bought 6 jeans.

Hence

1/5 × x = 6 jeans

x/5 = 6 jeans

Cross Multiply

x = 5 × 6 jeans

x = 30

The amount of money Taylor spent = 30
