question:Mrs. Swanson gives out only one type of candy for Halloween. The local discount store sells six pounds of butterscotch candies for $7.50.use proportional reasoning to determine the information below.Be sure to explain your answer and organize your reasoning.
A: What is the cost of 18 pounds of butterscotch candies?
B:What is the cost of 10 pounds of butterscotch candies?

A. Cost of 18 lbs:
= 18($7.50/6)
= 18($1.25)
= $22.50

Answer: $22.50
----------
B. Cost of 10 lbs:
= 10($1.25)
= $12.50

Answer: $12.50

Set up information like this:

1. pounds/cost= pounds/cost
6/7.50=18/x
X = the cost for 18 pounds

Solution:
1. Multiply 7.50 times 18. (7.5*18=135)
2. Divide 135 by 6. (135/6=22.5)
3. Answer is for 18 pounds the cost will be $22.50.

2. 6/7.50=10/x

Solution.
1. 7.5* 10= 75
2. 75/6=12.5
3. Answer is for 10 pounds the cost will be $12.50.

6 pounds of butterscotch = 7.50 , then 18 pounds of butterscotch = (supose it is X)
so ,
6 : 7.50 = 18 : x
6 / 7.50 = 18 / x
0.8 = 18/x
0.8/18 = 1/x
18 /0.8 = x/1
22.5 = x
so 18 pounds of butterscotch = $22.5

do the second one urself , its the same case gudluck :)

If six pounds of candy sells for 7.50 then A has to be 22.50 cause u have done 6 pounds worth times 3.

B if 6 is 7.50, 12 pounds would be 15 so 10 would roughly be 12-13ish but use a calculator to do 7.50 divided by 6 and then x 10 and it will giv u the answer

6 lb of candy is $7.50
to find 1 lb we divide $7.50 by 6 lb.

7.5 / 6 = 1.25.

Therefore 1 lb of candy is $1.25.

Should be easy from here in to find 18 and 10 pounds of candy.

A. $22.50
B. $12.50
Because you do $7.50/ 6 to find the cost per pound. Then times that to the amount of pounds you need and you have your answer.

$7.50 / 6 pounds = $1.25 / pound

A:

$1.25 * 18 pounds = $22.50

B:

$1.25 * 10 pounds = $12.50
