Question

If 8 tennis balls cost $24, how much do 12 tennis balls cost?


​

Answer 1

$36

Explanation:

First divide the $24 to find how much each tennis ball costs.

24 / 8 = 3

Then multiply 3 (the cost per tennis ball) by 12 (the amount of tennis balls)

3 x 12 = 36

36 is your answer

Answer 2

36

Explanation:

half of 8 is 4 so half of 24 is 12 and 12 plus 24 is 36
