Six grape fruit cost $5.34. How much does one grape fruit cost????

Sagot :

You divide 5.53 by 6
And you'll get
.89cents
In order to figure this out, we can set up a proportion and simplify using cross multiplication.

[tex] \frac{units_1}{cost _{1} } =\frac{units_2}{cost _{2} } \\ \\ \frac{6}{5.34} = \frac{1}{x} \\ \\ 6*x=5.34*1 \\ \\ 6x=5.34 \\ \\ x=0.89[/tex]

One grapefruit costs 89 cents.
