The cost of sending the first 10 words is sh. 2000. Find the cost of sending the five words. math question
please i need your help guys.
well, 5 words is half of 10 words
so the cost will also be half as much, right?
Cost = 2000/10words * 5words = 1000.
To find the cost of sending five words, we need to determine the cost per word.
Given that the cost of sending the first 10 words is sh. 2000, we can calculate the cost per word by dividing the total cost by the number of words.
Cost per word = Total cost / Number of words
In this case, the total cost is sh. 2000 and the number of words is 10.
Cost per word = 2000 / 10 = sh. 200
Therefore, the cost of sending five words would be the cost per word multiplied by the number of words.
Cost of sending five words = Cost per word * Number of words
Cost of sending five words = 200 * 5 = sh. 1000
Hence, the cost of sending five words is sh. 1000.
