Question

Giovanni is at the market, he notices that 7 apples cost $4.55. How much does he pay for 9 apples?

Answer 1

Well, to see how much one apple costs, we'll have to divide 7 by 4.55. You will get 65 cents. Each apple is .65 cents. 

Now you multiply .65 by 9. You will get 5.85

9 apples cost $5.85.

Answer 2

You divide $4.55 by 7.
$0.65 times 9 = $5.85
