If the recipe makes enough stew for 6 people, and the ingredients cost $9.75, then for 24 people it will cost $x. You can write this statement as

6 people - $9.75,

24 people - $x.

Or as proportion,

\dfrac{6}{24}=\dfrac{9.75}{x}.

Find x:

6\cdot x=9.75\cdot 24,\\ \\x=\dfrac{9.75\cdot 24}{6}=9.75\cdot 4=39.

Answer: It would cost $39 to serve 24 people

You bought a blu-ray that cost $28.68 before tax. How much did you have to pay once the 7% sales tax was factored in?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

You had to pay $30.69 after the sales tax factored in.

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find 7% of $28.68.

The answer to that is the sales tax, therefore making the sales tax $2.01.

Finally, you have to add $2.01 to $28.68 to get a total of $30.69, your final answer.
