Question

In a fundraising event for every $3 by basketball players the football players raised $2.50 if the basket ball players use $6 what will the football players raise?

Answer 1

Answer: $5

Explanation:

For every $3 raised by basketball players, football players would raise $2.50.

If basketball players raised $6 therefore, we can use direct proportion to find out what football players raised:

3 : 2.50

6 : x

Cross multiply:

3x = 15

x = 15 / 3

x = 5

Football players raised $5.
