Myron Brought 4 oranges for $1.40. How much would 9 oranges cost?

Answer 1

$3.15

its $1.4 divided by 4 which equals $0.35
then $0.35 times 9

Answer 2

I have always seen oranges sold by the pound If that were the case it would depend on the weight of the 9 oranges.If the first four were lager and 9 were small they might cost the same. If they are being sold by the each you have to divide 140 by 4= $0.35. You then $.035X9=$3.15.

Answer 3

Easy
4 oranges = 1.40
1 orange = 140 divided by 4 = 35 each orange
so 9 oranges x 35 = 3.15

Answer 4

I'm not just going to give you the answer, it will help you more to know how to get it!

If 4 oranges cost $1.40, divide 1.40 by 4 to find out how much each orange cost. Then multiply that by 9 to find out how much nine of them would cost!

1.40 divided by 4= .35
.35 times 9= 3.15

Answer 5

Cost of one orange is: 1.40/4 = 0.35

Therefore ( oranges will cost you: 0.35 x 9
= $ 3.15

Good luck

Answer 6

9 oranges cost $3.15 because...

$1.40 divided by 4 = $0.35 which is the cost per orange
$0.35 * 9 = $3.15

Answer 7

What you do is find the price of one orange. ($1.40/4) Then times the answer by nine.

Answer 8

Tell "myron" to get a calculator.

Then tell him to type this

(1.40 / 4 )*9

Answer 9

Divide 140 by 4, then multiply that answer by 9, and move the decimal to the left.

Answer 10

I'm guessing you are trying to learn this stuff so I'm not giving the answer. However, the first step is to figure out the "per orange" cost. Then you can determine the price of any quantity.
