Question 624317: If the total cost of x apples is b cents, what is a general formula for the cost, in cents, of y apples?
I have tried a few ideas.. And im sure they're wrong, but im trying to read each word of the problem and equate that to an operand or an operation.
x b
- = -
1 100
Then i was fiddling around with the following giving myself an example: if 10 apples was 100 cents..
10x = 100
y = x
Not sure what it means, but I probably am missing just one or two main parts.
Please assist if you have time!
