A local store sells oranges at a price of $9 for 6 oranges. Alison wants to send 24 oranges to her aunt. How much will Alison spend if she buys them from the local store? Explain or show your work. Alison realizes that she does not have enough money to buy 24 oranges. She can only buy 15 oranges. What will be the cost of 15 oranges? Explain or show your work. PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

it would be $22.5

Explanation:

all you have to do is 9 divided by 6 this would equal 1.5 and then you would do 1.5 x 15 which would equal 22.5 dollars

Answer 2

Answer $22.50

Explanation:

$9 X 2 = 18 and 6 oranges + 6 oranges = 12

if you divide 9 by 6 you get 1.5 so that means its 1.50 for each orange individually.

which makes 15 oranged 22.50
