Question

A city dumps plastic shade balls into a reservoir to prevent water from evaporating during a drought. It costs $5760 for 16,000s shade balls. How much dose it cost for 12,000 shade balls?

Answer 1

$4320

Explanation:

it costs $5,760 for 16,000, so divide 5,760/16,000 to find the cost for each shade ball, .36 dollars. Then multiply .36 by 12,000 to find 4320. Then just don't forget your unit ! add a $ or 'dollars'
