Answer:

$21

Explanation:

Make the original statement into a ratio.

$28/4

Simplify the fraction above.

$28/4 = 7

So, you earn $7 per car you wash.

As a result, you multiply $7 by the number of cars the question is asking you for. In this case it is 3 cars.

So, you multiply 7 x 3

7 x 3 = 21

Therefore, you will earn $21 for washing 3 cars.
