Question 726054: If 3 melons sell for $0.42, how much would 7 melons cost?

$0.42 * 100 = 42 cents.

if 3 melons cost 42 cents, then the cost per melon is equal to 42 / 3 = 14 cents.

7 melons times the cost per melon of 14 cents would equal 7 * 14 which would be equal to 98 cents.

98 cents / 100 = $0.98.
