Question

Priya’s family exchanged 250 dollars for 4,250 pesos. Priya bought a sweater for 510 pesos. How many dollars did the sweater cost?

Answer 1

Answer:

The sweater cost 30 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion

x/510 = 250/4250        Multiply both sides by 510

x = 250 * 510/4250      multiply 250 * 510

x = 127500 / 4250        Divide by 4250

x = 30

try filling out the table.

4250                250 dollars

425                   25   dollars

425/25               1     dollar

17                        1     dollar

17*3                     3   dollars

51                        3   dollars

51*10                   30 dollars

510                      30 dollars.
