Question

If Kim owns 5 shares of stock and receives $12 per year how many shares of stock will she need to receive $24

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

one possible way to do this is to simply observe that 12*2 =24, so 5 shares must also be multiplied by 2

another way is to set up a proportion, 5/12=x/24, cross multiply, 5*24=12x, solve for x, x=(5*24)/12=10
