Question

Leo is adding gravel to the edge of his driveway. He orders 6 bags of gravel for $252. How much would it cost if Leo orders 8 bags in stead

Answer 1

ratio and proportion

cost/bags=252/6

252/6=x/8

multily both sides by 8

252*8/6=x

2016/6=x

$336=x

it would cost $336 to order 8 bags

Answer 2

$50.50 because each bag cost $25.25 if split into eighths if split into 6 pieces each bag cost $25 and a little more cents
