Six pens can be bought for £2.88. how many pens can be bought for £7.20

Answer 1

Create Proportions, it makes life easy!
6 for £2.88
? for £7.20

`(6)/(2.88)` =
`(?)/(7.20)`
(?)×(2.88) = (7.20)×(6)
? =
`(7.20*6)/(2.88)`
? = 15
15 Pens can be bought for £7.20

Answer 2

o3 We'll first you need to divide (we're making this into just hundreds here) 288 by 6 and 6 goes into 288 48 times so each pen must be £0.48 so now we need to divide 720 by 48 to see how many pens can be bought with that amount: 720÷48=15 so 15 pens can be bought with £7.20
