Question

7 apples cost $2.10. How many apples can I buy for $6.30

Answer 1

21

Step-by-step explanation:

If 7 apples cost y cents, how many can you buy for x dollars?

As y cents buy 7 apples, y dollars will buy 7×100 apples.

Hence one dollar will buy 7×100y=700y apples and,

x dollars will buy 700y × x apples or 700x y apples.

Hence 7 apples multiplied by $6.30 divided by $2.10 will get you 21 apples.
