A dry cleaner charges $18 to clean 4 pairs of pants. How many pairs of pants can be cleaned for $27 at the same rate?

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

first do 18/ 4 to find how much it cost for 1 pair

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

4.5

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

now divide 27 / 4.5 to find out how many pairs of pants you can clean for $27

OpenStudy (theedwardsfamily):

6

OpenStudy (eli_moses):

so you can clean 6 pairs for $27 at the same rate
