if you want to know how much is the price for 180 ears you can say :
4$/12 = ?/180 ⇒ ? = 180 * 4 /12 = 60 $ :))

To answer this first we set up a proportion and then solve. Lets do it:-


(4)/(12)= (x)/(80)

Cross Multiply:-

80 · 4 = 320

Divide:-

420 ÷ 12 = 60

So, 180 ears of corn are for $60.

Hope I helped ya!!
