Answer:

What is the cost of 1 hotdog?

Answer: $4.50

How many hotdogs can you buy for $18?

Answer: 4

Explanation:

If $27 can buy you 6 hot dogs, to find the cost of one, we just divide.

27 divided by 6 = 4.5 ($4.50)

So 1 hotdog costs $4.50

If 1 hotdog is $4.50, and we want to know how much we can buy for $18, then we divide again.

18 divided by 4.5 = 4

So for $18, we can buy 4 hotdogs
