One way of doing this is to write the equation of ratios (15 screwdrivers / 45 screwdrivers) = ($300 / x). Solve this equation for x. To do this, you might try multiplying both sides of this equation by x to eliminate fractions.
Another way is to obtain the unit cost of each screwdriver and then multiply the result by 45 screwdrivers.
546 - 525 = 21

<u>Answer</u>
-5/3, -1, 0.7, √2, √5
<u>Explanation</u>
√5 = 2.236
-1 ⇒ this is less than 1.
-5/3 = -1.666667 this is less than 1. -5/3 < -1
0.7 > -1
√2 = 1.414 ⇒ √5 > √2
Arranging them from the least to the greatest;
-5/3, -1, 0.7, √2, √5
