Terrell's mom paid $27 for 18 juice boxes for the party.

At that rate, how much would she pay for 24 juice boxes?

A.$42

B.$36

C.$45

D.$51

Answer 1

You want to set up a proportion.

(27/18)=(x/24)

Answer 2

Or you can think of it as canceling units ($27/18 boxes)*24 boxes
the juice boxes cancel and you are left with the dollar amount

Answer 3

so, it would be
27/18= 1.5
1.5/24= .0625
that is not one if the answers:(

Answer 4

No, (27/18) = 1.5
1.5*24=
Do you know how to cross multiply?

Answer 5

not the best but yes

Answer 6

if you were to use the proportion you would have 27*24=18x.

Answer 7

oh,ok

Answer 8

or 648=18x, then divide by 18 and you have x, the dollar amount

Answer 9

i am not getting that sorry

Answer 10

648/18 = x

Answer 11

X=36

Answer 12

yes, if each box costs 1.50 and you have 24 boxes its 36 dollars

Answer 13
