Question

Valentina purchased 200 beads for $48 to make necklaces.If she needs to buy 25 more beads , how much will she pay if she is charged the same rate?

Answer 1

`(\$48)/(200)=(\$x)/(25)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 25\\\\\$x=25*(\$48)/(200)\\\\\$x=(\$48)/(8)\\\\\$x=\$6\\\\Answer:She\ pay\ \$6.`

Answer 2

200b=$48

$1=(200/48)*b

$1=(25/6)*b

6*$1=6*(25/6)*b

$6=25b

Therefore, Valentina has to pay $6 if she'd like another 25 beads.
