Question

At a local print shop, 4 copies can be made for $2. At this rate, how how many copies could be made for $12?

Answer 1

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 divided by 4 equals 50 cents

50 cents per copy

$12 will get you 24 copies

Answer 2

Answer:

24 copies

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 ----- 4 copies

$1 ----- 4 ÷2= 2 copies

$12 ----- 2(12)= 24 copies

Alternatively, we can present our working this way:

For every $2, 4 copies can be made.

Number of sets of $2 in $12

= $12 ÷$2

= 6

Since there are 6 sets of $2 and each set of $2 can make 4 copies,

number of copies

= 6(4)

= 24 copies
