Sagot :

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} \${data-answer}amp;km\\ \cline{1-2} 32&14\frac{2}{9}\\[1em] x&1 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{32}{x}=\cfrac{14\frac{2}{9}}{1}\implies \cfrac{32}{x}=14\frac{2}{9}\implies \cfrac{32}{x}=\cfrac{14\cdot 9+2}{9} \\\\\\ \cfrac{32}{x}=\cfrac{128}{9}\implies 288=128x\implies \cfrac{288}{128}=x\implies \stackrel{~\hfill \textit{2 bucks and 25 cents}}{\cfrac{9}{4}=x\implies 2\frac{1}{4}}=x[/tex]
