Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 bags for $20 can be represented with 15/20
so x bags for $4 can be represented with x/4

now if you proportion it out (ricochet), 4x15 is 60, 60 divided by 20 is 3, so you can buy 3 bags of potatoes with $4.

OR

you could do 15/20 is 0.75

0.75 times 4 is 3, so $4 can buy you 3 bags.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is a proportion problem. It assumes that if you know 3 of the four parts of a 2 ratio proportion, you can solve for the 4th one.

Givens

number of bags = 15

Cost = 20

Different cost = 4

number of bags = ?

Formula

Number of bags / Cost = different number of bags/ New Cost

Solution

15/20 = x / 4              Multiply both sides by 4

15*4/20  = x / 4 * 4

60/20 = x

Answer x = 3

That is 4 dollars gets you 3 bags of potatoes

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em> - <em>y-intercept</em>
