Answer: 48

Let's break this down...

If we reverse 5 and 12 we get 12/5

12 / 5 = 2.4

Next, we grab 20 and multiply it by 2.4

2 x 20 = 40

.4 x 20 = 8

40 = 8 =48

hope this helps :)

Answer:

  • $48

Explanation:

We know that:

  • 5 movies = $12

Work:

  • 5 movies = $12
  • => 1 movie = $12/5
  • => 20 movies = $12/5 x 20
  • => 20 movies = 12 x 4
  • => 20 movies = $48

Hence, if 20 movies are sold, $48 will be earned.
