Question

If david sells 2 gallons of Juice for 48 how much money will he get by selling 17 galla

Answer 1

Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

2 gallons = $48

17 gallons = x

We will calculate for x using simple proportion

`\begin{gathered} 2=48 \\ 17=x \\ We\text{ cross multiply, we have:} \\ 2x=17\cdot48 \\ x=(17\cdot48)/(2) \\ x=408 \end{gathered}`
