If "a" pens cost "b" dollars, how many dollars would "c" pens cost at the same rate?

Question

If "a" pens cost "b" dollars, how many dollars would "c" pens cost at the same rate?

ab/c
a/bc
b/ac
bc/a
c/ab

Answer 1

a pens<--->$ b
c pens<-->( c / a) $ b = $ bc / a

Answer 2

You want to know the pens/dollar first. So "a" pens divided by "b" dollars gives you the cost for each pen. Then multiply that amount time the number of "c" pens.

For example, if 4 pens (a) cost 1 dollar (b), then 4/100, reduce it to 1/4, so one pen equals 25 cents (1/4 of a dollar). Then you multiply that by then number of "c" pens times the standard rate, for example 8, this would equal 2 dollars at the same rate (8 x .25)

(a/b)*c

Answer 3

If a = 2 pens cost b = $10, how will you determine the price per pen? You will divide $10 by 2 , that is, you divide b by a. So the cost of one pen is b/a.

In the example mentioned above, the cost per pen is b/a = 5. If you buy c = 8 pens, how will you get the total cost? You multiply $5 by 8, that is, multiply (b/a) by c.

Total cost = (b/a)*c = (b*c) / a = bc/a.

Answer 4

If a pens cost b dollars; then 1 pen costs b/a dollars

So c pens would cost c * b/a or bc/a

Answer 5

According to the Trinity doctrine, Jesus is God, but a separate person from The Father. The doctrine teaches that there are three separate persons -- The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit -- who all comprise one God. If this teaching is true, there should not be any scripture in the Bible that portrays Jesus as an entity separate and distinct from God -- separate and distinct from the Father, yes; but not separate and distinct from God. By way of comparison, note that there is no scripture in the Bible that portrays the Father as a separate and distinct entity from God. It would be utterly ridiculous, confusing, unnecessary and contradictory for the Bible to repeatedly refer to Jesus as an entity separate and distinct from God, if Jesus is God. But the scriptures you quoted do exactly that. Again and again they speak of Jesus being at the right hand of, not the Father, but God, thus contradicting the Trinity doctrine. Since the Bible is God's word of Truth, the fact that it so often contradicts the Trinity doctrine can mean only one thing -- the Trinity doctrine is false. (John 17:17) I suspect -- because I believe most people have at least a modicum of intelligence -- that deep down, many Trinitarians know that the doctrine is false. But pride and/or a desire to fit in with the 'Christian' crowd compels them to play along, pretending or convincing themselves that they believe it. Many are thus in a state of denial about this falsehood. Just look at how they answer the question. Many won't even address the particular issue you have raised, head on -- because they can't. Their only option is to ignore it and quote other so called 'proof texts'. This is not because they lack intelligence. It is simply because there is no credible and satisfactory argument to disprove what the Bible -- God's authoritative word of Truth -- very blatantly shows.

Answer 6

C*B/A

B/A is the cost per pen. Multiply that by C, the number of pens to get your answer.

Answer 7

a pens / b dollars = c pens / x dollars

So, x = (b x c)/a or x = bc/a

Answer 8

The cost of "a" pens = $ b
The cost of one pen = $ b/a
Hence,
the cost of 'c' pens = $ (b/a) * c
................................= $ bc/a
=====================

Answer 9

The answer is bc/a.

Answer 10

c times b
