Question

If the cost of a 2.5 meter cloth is $30.5. What will be the cost of 22 meters ?

Answer 1

268.40

Explanation:

We can write a ratio to solve

2.5 meters 22 meters

----------------- = --------------

30.5 dollars x dollars

Using cross products

2.5 * x = 30.5 * 22

2.5x =671

Divide each side by 2.5

2.5x / 2.5 = 671/2.5

x =268.4
