To solve this, write a proportion of Pounds to Cost:
Pounds:     3         x
     Cost: 25.50   42.50

Cross multiply 3 and 42.50, this gives you 127.5
Then, divide by 25.5
This gives you 5.
You can buy 5 pounds with $42.50

Hnmm what's simple, follow this structure- always find the rate(by dividing) first find the rate of 3 pounds and 25.50
3pounds=. 1pound=?
25.50. Try for 1LBS So in order to get this divide 3 by the number that gets it 1 (for one pound)

Which is 3 so 3pounds divided by 3 = the one pound you want. So now divide the 25.50 by 3 to get 8.50. Now this is the problem
1pound=so ____pounds=
8.50. 42.50
All you have to do is divide 42.50 by 8.50 to get 5 FIVE POUNDS EQUAL 42.50 your welcome, I think :)

A bike rental company charges a four dollar rental fee +2 dollars per hour. Selena paid 12 dollars to rent a bike. How long did
elena55 [62]
The base fee is 4 dollars, and the thing the at changes is x or the hours so the equation is 4 + 2x equals 12. and to solve for x we have to first subtract both sides by 4, getting 2x equals 8 then we divide both sides by 2 to get x equals 4 or 4 hours
