Answer:

$7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

the question can be represented with:
12.5/5 and x/3

12.5/5 is 2.5, so that means each bag of dog food is $2.5  
So then you multiply 2.5 by 3, = 1.20, so 3 bags of dog food is $7.50.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

I take it you mean 5 and not 0.5.

If that is the case, this is a proportion question. A proportion consists of 4 parts. If you know 3 of the parts, you can solve for the 4th one.

Formula

Number of bags/Cost = new number of bags/Cost of the new number

Givens

original Number of bags  = 5

Cost = 12.50

New number of bags = 3 bags

Cost = x

Solution

5/12.50 = 3/x           Cross Multiply

5x = 12.50 * 3          Combine the right

5x = 37.5                  Divide by 5

5x/5 = 37.5/5

x = 7.5

Answer: 3 bags cost 7.50 dollars.
