Question

At a concession stand 6 hot dogs cost $6.72. At this rate, how much would 8 hot dogs cost, in dollars and cents?

Answer 1

$8.96

Explanation:

Since 6 hot dogs are $6.72, 1 hot dog would be that divided by 6, which is $1.12. Now we want the cost of 8 of those hot dogs, so we have to multiply by 8. Hence the answer is $1.12 * 8 = $8.96.
