Question

A grocery store sells a bag of 8 oranges for $4.32. If Colton spent $5.40 on oranges,
how many did he buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of oranges be x

We can solve this question through the proportion method,

8:4.32 :: x: 5.4

8*5.4 = 4.32*x

43.2=4.32*x

43.2/4.32=x

10=x

Hence, Colton bought 10 oranges
