Question

A store sells 8 cans of fruit cocktail for ​$22. How much would it cost you to buy 7 cans of fruit cocktail ​?

It would cost ​$_______

Answer 1

19.25$

Explanation:

So first with these we always try to get the constant or divided it down to 1.

So 22 divided by 8 = 2.75, which means 2.75 is out constant.

So it is every 1 fruit cocktail it costs 2.75$.

So if we do 1 x 7 = 7

And 2.75 x 7

Then that equals 19.25

So for every 7 cans of fruit cocktail, it costs 19.25

Hope I could help.

Answer 2

$154

Explanation:

Each can is $22.

You take $22x7=$154
