Given that :-

We get 1000 of something for $ 15

Find that :-

How much we can get it in $ 10

Let as assume that : -

• Let required number be x.

Solution :-

$ 15 = $ 10

1000 = x

Using cross multiplication method

15 × x = 10 × 100 0

multiply ,

15 x = 10000

Divide each side by 15.

15 x / 15 = 10000 / 15

x = 666

Answer 2

• 666

Explanation:

• 1000 off ⇒ $15
• 1 off ⇒ $15/1000 = $0.015

Let the required number is x, then we have:

• x off ⇒ $10

• x * 0.015 = 10
• x = 10/0.015
• x = 666 (rounded down to whole number)
