Question

If 1 book costs 1.95 pound how much do six books cost

Answer 1

To solve this problem, you will need to set up a proportion.

Let x = the unknown cost of the books.

$\frac{1}{1.95} = \frac{6}{x}$

Assuming the cost of books stays constant, you can crossmultiply and solve for x.

x = 1.95(6)

x = 11.70

Six books will cost $11.70 if 1 book cost $1.95.
