Question

At the grocery store, 8 oranges cost $4. What is the cost for 9 oranges?

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find the price per orange. You can do this by dividing total cost by oranges bought. See below.

4/8  = .50

Now to find the amount of 9 oranges, you'd multiply price per orange by the specified amount needed (so 9)

9*.50  = $4.50
