Question

Each piece of candy costs 20 cents. The price of n pieces of candy is $3.00. Find n

Answer 1

Answer: n=15

Explanation:

For this question, we can set proportions to solve.

`(0.2)/(1) =(3)/(n)` [cross multiply]

`0.2n=3` [divide both sides by 0.2]

`n=15`

Now, we know that there are 15 pieces fo candy.
