Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, Tom paid $16 for 6 audio cassettes and we are told to find the proportion to get the amount of money (m) he would pay for 9 audio cassettes. To get this, we have to know the amount of the cost of 1 audio cassette. Since Tom paid $16 for 6 audio cassettes, 1 audio cassette will cost:
= $16/6
= $2.67
1 audio cassette will cost $2.67
The amount of money spent will depend on the number of audio cassettes. Therefore,
m = $2.67 × n
m = $2.67n
where n = number of audio cassette
The amount of money he'll pay for 9 cassette will be:
m = $2.67n
m = $2.67 × 9
m = $24.03
