Did you get it?

Certainly.

Answer 4

Then how much does 40 cherries using these imagined numbers?

Answer 5

How do they cost?

Answer 6

Is the chosen answer the correct one?

Answer 7

Help me get my feet back on the ground

Answer 8

Yes @wolf1728

Answer 9

Nope.

Answer 10

If you wanna argue with the GRE answer that is fine @Kinged

Answer 11

c cherries cost d dollars

we have this ratio

c cherries : d dollars

divide both expressions by 'c' to get

c/c cherries: d/c dollars
which simplifies to
1 cherry: d/c dollars

this means 1 cherry costs d/c dollars

does that make sense so far?

Answer 12

Oh! I have not thought of it that way. Sure does!

Answer 13

from there I'm sure you can see how 50 costs 50*(d/c) = 50d/c

Answer 14

Sure enough! Thanks a million!
