Question

A cow paid $160 for 12 bales of hay and his friend paid $300

for 18 bales of hay. How much would 22 bales cost?

Answer 1

$406.67

Explanation:

Notice how the price increased $160 from 12 bales to 18 bales, the difference between these is 6. From 18 to 22 is 4. Dividing 160 by 6:

$16.67

And multiplying that by 4 gives us:

$106.67

So, 22 bales would cost $406.67
