To solve this problem, we need to use proportions to find out how much 10 toy cars would cost if Jaedon knows the cost for 3 toy cars.
Here is a step-by-step solution:
1. Identify the given information:
- Jaedon bought 3 toy cars for [tex]$11.70.
2. Determine the cost per car:
To find out how much one toy car costs, we divide the total cost by the number of cars:
\[
\text{Cost per car} = \frac{\text{Total cost for 3 cars}}{\text{Number of cars}} = \frac{11.70}{3} = 3.90
\]
3. Set up the proportion for 10 cars:
Now, we need to determine the cost for 10 toy cars. Since we know the cost for one car, we multiply this cost by the number of cars Jaedon wants to buy:
\[
\text{Total cost for 10 cars} = \text{Cost per car} \times \text{Number of cars} = 3.90 \times 10 = 39.0
\]
4. Conclusion:
Therefore, the total cost for 10 toy cars would be $[/tex]39.00.
So, the answer is $39.
