Ms. Compra bought 5 markers for $4.75. At this price how much will 4 markers cost?
I got .95 each.
Is that correct?
You're right as far as you went. Now how much will 4 markers cost?
Is it $3.80
That's correct.
Thank u for all your help
5 markers cost $4.75. You need to find the unit rate by dividing $4.75 by 5, which is 95 cents each. However, the question asks for the price of FOUR markers, so you have to multiple the price of an individual marker by four.
.95 x 4 = $3.80
So your answer is 4 markers cost $3.80
