Problema Solution
If Jan bought 3 oranges for .15 cents. How many oranges did she buy if she spent $1.50?
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of oranges that Jan bought with $1.50
$1.50 = 150 cents
since the number of oranges is directly proportional with the money we can write:
3 : 0.15 = x : 150
by solving we find:
x = 3,000 oranges
