Question

If 8 drinks cost 12 dollars how much will 12 drinks cost

Answer 1

Hello there for this problem we can make a proportion

$\frac{8\:drinks}{12\:cost}=\frac{12\:drinks}{x}$, we are trying to find how much x is

cross multiply and we get that $8x=144$

divide both sides by 8 and we get $x=18$, 12 drinks would've cost 18 dollars

Answer 2

Answer:

1 drink = 12 ÷ 8

= 1.5

So 12 drink = 12 × 1.5

= 8 dollars
