Hi there,
Recall how 7 packs for gum sell for $29.33.
Before we can calculate how much it would cost to sell 3 packs of gum, we must calculate how much it would first cost to sell 1 pack of gum.
The cost of 1 pack of gum is the current total cost divided by the total amount of gum packs you receive at that price.
In this case, the total cost is $29.33, and we receive 7 gum packs at that price.
Therefore, the cost of 1 pack of gum is , which equates to $4.19.
We now know that each pack of gum costs $4.19.
Hence, 3 packs of gum would cost three times that price.
The cost of 3 packs of gum is $12.57.
Hope that helps!

Answer:
Scale factor for the drawing from actual park =
Area of the actual park = 1200 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the rectangular city park = 5 cm
Width of the rectangular park = 6 cm
Using scale factor 1 cm = 20 meters
Scale factor =
Actual length = 5 × 20 = 100 meters
Actual width = 6 × 20 = 120 meters
Area of the rectangular park = length × width
= 100 × 120
= 1200 square meters
Therefore, Scale factor from actual length to the length in drawing = 1 : 20
Area of the rectangular park = 1200 square feet
