Question 133417
If the whole bag of x apples cost b cents, then each apple should cost {{{b/x}}} cents.  For example, if 5 apples cost 50 cents, then each apple would cost {{{50/5=10}}} cents.


The total cost of y apples would be y times the cost of each apple, or {{{b/x}}}, so if C is the cost of y apples, then the general formula is:


{{{C=(b/x)y}}}
