Question

at school funraiser for every 9 boxes of chocolate sold u earn 5 points. If u were to sell 38 boxes how many points would u earn

Answer 1

Create a proportion that relates the boxes sold to points earned for both scenarios, cross multiply, then divide to solve for x. So, (9/5) = (38/x). Multiplying gives you 152 = 9x and then divide by 9, which provides you the solution for x of 21.11 tickets. It'd make sense to round up to 22 tickets, since it's impossible to earn a fractional ticket. I hope this helps Star!
