Question

If a donut shop sells a dozen donuts for $6.00, what would the cost of 9 donuts be?

Answer 1

A dozen donuts is 12 donuts so

Answer 2

\[\frac{12 \text{donuts}}{9 \text{donuts}} = \frac{$6}{$x}\]

\[\frac{12}{9} = \frac{6}{x}\]

Answer 3

Simplify and solve for x:

\[\frac{4}{3} = \frac{6}{x}\]

Cross multiply:
4x = 18
x = 18/4
x = 9/2
x = 4.5

Answer 4

In terms of dollars, the cost of 9 donuts is $4.50
