Macy is making sweaters to sell. She sold 14 sweaters for $154. How much could she expect to earn if she sells 25 sweaters?

First, find the price for one sweater
one sweater = price for 14 sweater : 14
one sweater = 154 : 14
one sweater = 11
She earns $11 for each sweater

Second, find the price after selling 25 sweaters
25 sweaters = each sweater × 25
25 sweaters = 11 × 25
25 sweaters = 275
She expect to earn $275 if she sells 25 sweaters

basically your gonna divide 154 by 14.
your answer should be 11.
then multiply 11 by 25.
your answer should be $275.
