Question

Mike sold his paintings for $96. His painting sold for 8 times as much as his sketch. How much did his sketch sell for? A.$22. B.$8. C.$12. D.$16

Answer 1

Answer: [C. $12]

Explanation:

p = painting

s = sketch

Painting sold for $96, so p = 96

Painting is 8x as much as the sketch, so p = 8s

Therefore, $96 = 8s.

So the equation you need to solve is $96 = 8s

s = $12

Answer 2

Answer:

$12

Explanation:

$96/$8 = $12
