Question

you earn $48 for washing 6 cars. How much money do you earn for washing 3 cars.

Answer 1

Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the total ($48) by how many cars you washed (6) to get the unit price and multiply that by 3 to get the total for 3 cars washed ($24)

Answer 2

Answer:

$ 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money you earn for washing 3 cars be x

6 cars  ⇒ $ 48

3 cars  ⇒  x

Use cross multiplication and find the value of x

$6=48\\3=x$

$6x =48*3$

$\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{48*3}{6}$

$x=24$

There fore, you'll earn $ 24 for washing 3 cars.

Hope this helps you.
