Question

Write a proportion that could be used to solve for each variable. Then solve. 7 pencils for $1.68 p pencils for $2.88 a. 7.1.68 = p/2.88; p = 10 c. 1.68/7 = p/2.88; p = 0.7 b. 7/1.68 = p/2.88; p = 12 d. 7/2.88 = p/1.68; p = 4

Answer 1

Explanation:

p = 20.16/1.68

p = 12

So, 12 pencils can be bought for $2.88
