Caroline bought 3 pairs of pants for $68.25. Each pair of pants costs the same amount. How much will she pay for 5 pairs of pants at the same price per pair?

Answer:

For 5 pairs, the cost will be $113.75

Explanation:

The answer is $113.75 because since $68.25 is the total cost for 3 pants, I divided 68.25 by 3 and got the answer of $22.75 per pants. And now we are trying to find the total cost for 5 pants, so $22.75*5= $113.75, so the total cost for 5 pants is $113.75

-Hope this helps
