Answer:

$900

Explanation:

first you need to find the unit rate by dividing 270 by 3, which the answer would be 90. now we have $90. now we need to find the amount for 10 people, and we already have the unit rate. with the 90 dollars, we multiply it by 10. your final answer would but $900 for 10 people. hope this helps!

Answer:

  • $900

Explanation:

  • 3 people ⇒ $270
  • 10 people ⇒ x

Cross multiply and solve for x:

  • 3x = 10*270
  • x = 2700/3
  • x = 900
