So the numerator of your fraction (the top number) is the amount that was cut. The denominator (the bottom number) is the total amount of rope. So, your fraction would be 2/12. You can still simplify that by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 and end up with 1/6. Does that make sense? If you need any more help, go ahead and message me :)
We can simplify this equation and find the value of k.
k ÷ 2 + 1 - 1k = -2k
k ÷ 2 + 1 = -k
k + 1 = -2k
1 = -3k
k = -1/3
Cost/(number of cassettes) = $14.50/2 = x/15
Multiply by 15 to solve
15*($14.50/2) = x = $108.75
15 cassettes will cost $108.75.
