At a cost of s stickers for c cents, how many stickers can be bought for d dollars

Sagot :

First, we need to express the amount of dollars d as cents, we can do this as we know that one dollar equals 100 cents, then d in cents would be:

[tex]d(\text{cents)}=d\times100cents[/tex]

And from the statement of the question, we know that s stickers cost c cents, we can express that cost per sticker like this:

[tex]\frac{s\text{ stickers}}{c\text{ cents}}[/tex]

And if we want to find the amount of stickers that we can buy, we just have to multiply d in cents by the cost per sticker, like this:

[tex]\text{number of sticker we can buy}=\frac{s\times d\times100}{c}[/tex]
