Question

A pet store was selling 4 lizards for $47.88. If they ended up selling 6 lizards, how much would they have earned?

Answer 1

$71.82

Explanation:

If 4 lizards are $47.88 then we would have to do $47.88 divided by 4 lizards. That would equal $11.97 per lizard. Then we do $11.97 multiplied by 6 lizards we would get $71.82

Answer 2

Explanation:

Step one- Find out how much it costs for one Lizard In this case, for four lizards it costs $47.88. To find the price for one lizard you divide 47.88 by four

$47.88/4Lizards=$11.97 per lizard.

Step two- Now that we have the price for one lizard, your question asks you how much for 6 lizards. We need to find that cost. To do so you multiply $11.97 by 6 for the lizards.

Your answer is $71.82
