Question

The total cost of 7 pears is 12.50. how much will 11 pears cost

Answer 1

If 7 pears cost 12.50

The cost of 1 pear =12.50/7
=1.79

Therefore the cost of 11 pears= the cost of 1 pair X 11
= 1.79 X 11
=19.69

Answer: The cost of 11 pears= 19.69

Answer 2

In order to find out how much 11 pears cost we must first find out the cost of a single pear. We know 7 pears costs 12.50. If we divide the total cost, 12.50, by the total number of pears we find the price of an individual pear, 1.79. Then all we have to do is multiple 11 pears by the price of 1 pear. Our answer will be that 19.69 is the cost of 11 pears.
