Question 716432: lance prepaid $718.50 to stay six nights at a hotel. he wants to add one more
Answer by jndarrell(58) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If 6 nights = $718.50, then $x = 1 night. X is what we are looking for.
{symbol / is the same as saying "over"}
Always remember to keep the same units in the same place on both sides. ie...$/night=$/nights
Set the proportion up:
718.50/6 = x/1
CROSS MULTIPLY
6x=718.50
DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 6 TO GET X ALONE
x= 119.75
To check your solution, plug it back into the proportion at the point of cross multiplication:
6x=718.50
6(119.75)=718.50 CHECK!!
Don't forget your units when reporting your solution. $119.75
