The answer to this is x/2 = 3.
Lets list what we know:
1.5 cups = 18 cookies
How many cups in 1 cookie will help us find the answer:
1.5 / 18 (1.5 cups per 18 cookies)
divide both sides by 1.5 (to get how many cookies in 1 cup)
1 / 12 (1 cup = 12 cookies)
Now, how many times does 12 fit in 30?
30/12 = 2.5
This means it takes 2 and a half cups of raisins to get 30 cookies.
If anything is still unclear please comment,
Hope this was helpful
Have a great day!
Here
45 :72 = 40:p
Or 45/72=40/p
Or 45p = 72*40
Or p = 2880/45
Or p= 64
Thank you

Arianna sold for $ 299.6
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, Part of Arianna’s earnings are based on a 5% commission rate
At the end of the day arianna earned 14.98 in commission
Therefore,
Commission earned = $ 14.98
Commission rate = 5 %
Let "x" be the amount that Arianna sell that day
Therefore, according to question,
5 % of amount earned = 14.98
5 % of "x" = 14.98
<em><u>Solve the above equation for "x"</u></em>

Thus arianna sold for $ 299.6
