Question

You school counselor told you that there was 91 pages for 7 student financial aid applications. How many pages would there be for 9 applications? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

117 pages

Explanation:

91 divided by 7 =13, meaning there are 13 pages per applicant.

9-7=2

13 times 2 =26

91 + 26=117.

Answer 2

Answer:

Let's take x to be the no.of pages for 9 student applications.

91 pages         7 student financial aid applications

x pages           9 student financial aid applications

Using cross-multiplication, you get the equation:

7x = 819

x = 819/7

x = 117

Therefore, there are 117 pages in 9 student financial aid applications.
