Question

On average the number of drum sets sold in Pennsylvania each year is , which is six times the average number of drum sets sold each year in Alaska. How many drum sets, on average, are sold each year in Alaska?

Answer 1

if the number of drums sold in Pennsylvania is P, and it's 6 times the number sold in Alaska, then the number sold in Alaska is 6P

for example,

if P =1,000, then 6P = 6 times 1,000 = 6,000

or if P = 250, then 6P =6(250) = 1,500
