Question

At the greenhouse of salad, you can get a one dollar coupon for every 3 salads. What is the least number of salads you could buy to get 10 dollars in coupons?

Answer 1

Answer:

30 salads.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been at the greenhouse of salad, you can get a one dollar coupon for every 3 salads. We are asked to find the least number of salads you could buy to get 10 dollars in coupons.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem as:

$\frac{\text{Number of Salads}}{\text{Coupons}}=\frac{3}{\ 1}$

Now we will substitute $10 for coupons and solve for number of salads as:

$\frac{\text{Number of Salads}}{\ 10}=\frac{3}{\ 1}$

$\frac{\text{Number of Salads}}{\ 10}\times\ 10 =\frac{3}{\ 1}\times\ 10$

$\text{Number of Salads} =3\times10$

$\text{Number of Salads} =30$

Therefore, you can get $10 coupons after buying 30 salads.
