2—>19.28
9—>x

Cross multiplication 9(19.28)=2x
Multiply then divide by 2
x= $86.76

First we need to know the cost of one sweater, which will be obtained by dividing the cost of 2 sweaters between 2


(19.28)/(2)=9.64

then we multiply the cost per sweater by the quantity in this case 9


9.64\cdot9=86.76

The cost of 9 sweaters is $86.76
