Question

A grocery store is selling 3 granola bars for $1.50.

At this rate, how much will 12 granola bars cost?

A.$3.00

B.$4.50

C.$6.00

D.$18.00

Answer 1

Lets take the number of granola bars being sold. If you sell 3 it's $1.50. You're trying to find how much it would be to sell 12 granola bars. If you multiply 3 by 4 you get 12, so multiply the cost ($1.50) by 4 to get $6.00. I hope this helps.

Answer 2

C. 3 granola bars=$1.50 12 granola bars total/3 per package=4 and $1.50*4 packages=$6.00
