Answer:

Let the number of bags be 3 and the amount, x

1 bag = $4.75

1 bag = $4.753 bags = x

cross-multiply

x = $4.75 × 3

x = $14.25

hence,

3 bags = $14.25

Equation he can use:

Equation he can use:Since the amount for 1 bag is already stated, the number of bags sold is multiplied by the amount for 1 bag to get the amount.
