Question

a tv costs the same as 5 microwaves, 3 microwaves cost the same as 8 blenders, 12 blenders cost the same as 7 rice cookers, and 2 rice cookers cost $375. how much do 3 tvs cost in dollars?

Answer 1

Answer: 3 TVs cost $4375

Explanation:

So first I divided $375 by 2 to get $187.50. Next, I multiplied $187.50 by 7 to get $1312.50, which is how much 12 blenders cost. So then I got the amount of money 12 blenders cost ($1312.50) and divided it by 3 to get $437.50. Then I multiplied $437.5 by 2 to get $875, which is how much 3 microwaves cost. Then, I divided $875 by 3 to get $291.67, which is 1 microwave. I multiplied $291.67 by 5 to get $1458.33, which is how much 1 TV costs. Lastly, I multiplied $1458.33 by 3 to get $4375. That is how much 3 TVs cost.
