Answer 2

$12.56

Step-by-step explanation

Orange costs $3.42 for 9 pounds.

We want to know how much it would cost to get 12 pounds of oranges.

To do this, we will simply compare and make our unkown x:

$3.42 = 9 pounds

x = 12 pounds

Now, we cross multiply:

=> x * 9 = 3.42 * 12

`\begin{gathered} x\text{ = }\frac{3.42\cdot\text{ 12}}{9} \\ x\text{ = \$4.56} \end{gathered}`

At this rate, 12 pounds will cost $4.56.
