Question

Evan purchases 5 hats for $3.75. All of the hats are the same price.

How many dollars would be needed to buy 16 hats?

Answer 1

If he purchased 5 hats for $3.75, that would mean that he paid $0.75 for one hat ($3.75 / 5 = 0.75).

To buy 16 hats, he would multiply $0.75 by 16:

$0.75 * 16 = $12.00 for 16 hats
