94. 7 pounds of grapes costs 10.43 dollars. Now, solve for the costs of 3 pounds of grapes.
There are different ways to solve this kind of situation. For my end, I will be showing the solution that I think is easier.
=> 7 pounds = 10.43 dollars.
Find the unit rate first
=> 10.43 dollars / 7 = 1.49 dollars per pounds.
Now, solve for the cost of 3 pounds
=> 1.49 * 3 = 4.47 dollars is the costs of 3 pounds of grapes.
Hi hope I can help, so first you do 45÷3 which = 15 so 15 is your answer
First number = X
Second number = 8X
Third number = X - 3
The equation would be
X + (8X) + (X - 3) = 207
X + (8X) + (X - 3) = 207
X + 8X + X - 3 = 207
10X - 3 = 207
10X = 207 + 3
10X = 210
X = 21
First number = 21
Second number = 8 * 21 = 168
Third number = 21 - 3 = 18
