Question

If the apple orchard makes $1.35 for every 3 apple it sells, how much money do they make if they sell 7 apples?

Answer 1

$3.15

Explanation:

We are given that 3 apples costs $1.35

To find how much 7 apples costs, let's first find out the unit price, or how much 1 apple costs.

You can find this amount by dividing $1.35 by 3.

1.35/3 = 0.45

So, 1 apple costs 0.45 dollars, or 45 cents.

Now, let's find out how much 7 apples cost.

If 1 apple costs 45 cents, then 7 apples cost 45 * 7 = 315 cents or 3.15 dollars.
