Question

If 50 apples cost $25, then 75 apples would cost how much?

Answer 1

$37.5

Explanation:

we can look at this problem using rates:

50=$25

25=$12.5

so we can add $12.5 to $25 because 50+25=75 so our answer, 12.5+25=37.5

$37.5

Answer 2

Explanation:

Cost of 1apple = 25/50

Cost of 75 apples

`=(25)/(50)*75\\\\=(1)/(2)*75\\`

= $ 37.50
