Question

A group of sixth grade students organized a bake sale to raise money for a local charity. The students charge $2.00 for each cupcake. In 3 hours, they sold 9 cupcakes. At this rate, how much money could they earn from selling cupcakes for 5 hours?

Answer 1

$30.00

Explanation:

`(18)/(3)` =
`(x)/(5)` 9 x 2 = 18. They made 18 in 3 hours.

3 (
`(5)/(3)`) = 5

18 (
`(5)/(3)`) is the same as 6 x 5 = 30
