Question

if 8 oranges cost $10.40,how many oranges can be bought for 33.80

Answer 1

If we divide the cost by the number of oranges, we get the cost for each orange.

$\frac{10.40}{8} = 1.30$

Now we can divide the price, 33.80 by the rate per orange to get the number of oranges

$\frac{33.80}{1.30} = 26$

So you can buy 26 oranges
