Question

The graph below shows the cost of pens based on the number of pens in a pack. What would be the cost of one pen?

$0.57
$1.75
$5.50
$6.50​

Answer 1

$1.75

Explanation:

Honestly, you don't really have to pay attention to the other numbers or ratios on the graph until you think you found your answer. Pay attention to whichever ratio you choose and follow these steps:

1. Identify which number is the cost and which is the amount of pens bought

2. Set it up as a division problem by using the cost and the dividend and the amount of pens as the divisor

3. After you have your answer, plot your ratio of 1:(your product) and if the line that was graphed is straight, you are correct.

PS. I used the ratio (2:3.5) to solve this problem
