We can form a ratio equation. the ratio would be the amount of original apples to the cost versus the new amount of apples and new cost. we know all amounts except original cost.
pounds/cost = new pounds/new cost
9/x = (3/4)9 / 15
9/x = (27/4) / 15
9/x = 27/60
9/x = 9/20
cross multiply
9x = 180
x = 20
Answer:
56
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a rectangle we have the foruma A=WxL.
But we already have the area and length so we can plug that in
5488=Wx98
Now its an algebreic expression.
SInce its multiplying we do the opposite, so we divide 98 on both sides.
98/98 crosses itself out so now its 5488/98. Which equals 56. So now our expression is W=56. To fact check we put the numbers 56 and 98 into the formula to see if we get 5488.
A=56x98
A=5488
