Answer 2

Answer:

$4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First step is to find the price per orange. You can do this by dividing total cost by oranges bought. See below.

$4 \div 8 \\ = .50$

Now to find the amount of 9 oranges, you'd multiply price per orange by the specified amount needed (so 9)

$9 \times .50 \\ = 4.50$
