Question

if 2 kg of steak cost 35.22 how much steak could be purchased will 20$

Answer 1

Hi, Nur. For this problem, we have a simple proportion. The relation of the weight/mass of the steak to the price is constant. That means,

 

Weight A/Price A = Weight B/Price B

 

So, 2 kg/$35.22 = x kg/$20.

 

We'll solve for x by multiply both sides by $20.

 

So, we get x kg = 2*20/35.22, which is about 1.136 kg of steak for $20.
