Well first off you need to find how much it cost for one pair of pants. So, you will do

18 divided by 3

since 18 is the price all together for 3 and there’s 3 pairs of pants. It’ll cost 6 for one pair of pants, so now you can do

6 multiplied by 11

You will then get 66 and it cost 66 dollars for 11 pairs of pants. Hopefully that makes sense :)

Answer would be 66.

To find the cost of the dry cleaning per pair of pants, you divide 18 by 3.

The answer to that is 6, so you multiply the number of pants you're planning to dry clean, which is 11. So:

6 x 11 = 66
