Paul and his brother went to the mall. For every $3.00 that Paul spent, his brother
spent $5.00. If Paul spent $12.00, how much did his brother spend?

Answer 1

$20

3x=12
Divide each side by 3, so x=4

5x=____
If x=4, then 5x4=20

Answer 2

His brother spent 20. For Paul to $12 you need to times 4 by 3 to get 12. So you need times 5 by 4 which gives you the 20
