Patrick buys 12 bunches of bananas for $9 for the after school program. Use a ratio table to determine how much Patrick will pay for $8 bunches of bananas.

Respuesta :

Answer:

x=32/3

Step-by-step explanation:

9/12=8/x

cross product

12*8=9*x

96=9x

x=96/9

simplify,

x=32/3

r3t40

12 bunches ... $9

x bunches ... $8

Now cross multiply.

[tex]9x=12\cdot8\Longrightarrow x=\dfrac{12\cdot8}{9}\approx\boxed{10.67}[/tex]

Patrick can buy about 11 (10.67) bunches of bananas.

Hope this helps.
