If 300 jellybeans cost you X dollars. How many jellybeans can you purchase for 50 cents at the same rate?
.
Since you know that:
300 jellybeans per x dollars
.
You would multiply the above with the amount of money you have to find out how many jellybeans you would have:
300/x * .5 = 150/x
.
Notice that you have to multiply with the same UNITS -- that is, we have to convert "cents" into "dollars" -- 50 cents is equal to .5 dollars.
.
Therefore, your answer would be 150/x
