Question 76966:  If m mangos sell for 5 cents each, what is te cost of p mangos sold at the same rate? 
 Answer by ptaylor(2198)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! The rate is 5 cents per mango, so p mangos would cost 5*p cents 
The rate is 5 cents per mango, so 4 mangos would cost 5*4=20 cents 
The rate is 5 cents per mango, so x mangos would cost 5*x cents 
The rate is 5 cents per mango, so z mangos would cost 5*z cents 
The rate is 5 cents per mango, so 1 mango would cost 5*1=5 cents 
The rate is 5 cents per mango, so 34 mangos would cost 5*34= 170 cents 
The rate is 5 cents per mango, so (y+4)^2 mangos would cost 5*(y+4)^2 cents
 
Actually, as you can see,  it's a little easier when you are dealing in unknowns such as x, y, z
