N1
plural_form(deskItem(0), N1) cost \$C
.
Which equation would help determine the cost of N2
plural_form(deskItem(0), N2)?
SOLUTION
\dfrac{N2}{\$C} = \dfrac{x}{N1}
\dfrac{N2}{N1} = \dfrac{\$C}{x}
\dfrac{N1}{N2} = \dfrac{x}{\$C}
\dfrac{x}{N2} = \dfrac{N1}{\$C}
\dfrac{N2}{x} = \dfrac{\$C}{N1}
We can write the fact that N1
plural_form(deskItem(0), N1) cost \$C
as a proportion:
\qquad \dfrac{N1}{\$C}
Let x
represent the unknown cost of N2
plural_form(deskItem(0), N2).
Since N2
plural_form(deskItem(0), N2) cost x
,
we have the following proportion:
\qquad \dfrac{N2}{x}
The cost changes along with the number of plural_form(deskItem(0)) purchased, and so the two proportions are equivalent.
\qquad SOLUTION
Let x
represent the unknown cost of N2
plural_form(deskItem(0), N2).
Since N2
plural_form(deskItem(0), N2) cost x
,
we have the following proportion:
\qquad \dfrac{N2}{x}
We can write the fact that N1
plural_form(deskItem(0), N1)
cost \$C
as a proportion:
\qquad \dfrac{N1}{\$C}
The cost changes along with the number of plural_form(deskItem(0)) purchased, and so the two proportions are equivalent.
\qquad SOLUTION
We know the cost of N1
plural_form(deskItem(0), N1).
We want to know the cost of N2
plural_form(deskItem(0), N2).
We can write the numbers of plural_form(deskItem(0)) as a proportion:
\qquad \dfrac{N1}{N2}
We know N1
plural_form(deskItem(0), N1) costs \$C
.
We can let x
represent the unknown cost of N2
plural_form(deskItem(0), N2).
The proportion of these costs can be expressed as:
\qquad \dfrac{\$C}{x}
The cost changes along with the number of plural_form(deskItem(0)) purchased, and so the two proportions are equivalent.
\qquad SOLUTION
If we let x
represent the cost of N2
plural_form(deskItem(0), N2),
we have the following proportion:
\qquad \dfrac{x}{N2}
We have to pay \$C
for N1
plural_form(deskItem(0), N1),
and that can be written as a proportion:
\qquad \dfrac{\$C}{N1}
Since the price per deskItem(0) stays the same, these two proportions are equivalent.
\qquad SOLUTION
