Answer:
Jerry can buy 5 bags of dog food from $50.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Cost of three bags = $26.88
Ratio of number of bags to cost = 3 : 26.88
Amount Jerry have = $50.00
Number of bags that can be bought = x
Ratio of number of bags to amount jerry have = x : 50.00
This is a direct proportion,
[tex]3:26.88::x:50.00[/tex]
Product of mean = Product of extreme
26.88x = 3*50.00
26.88x=150.00
Dividing both sides by 26.88
[tex]\frac{26.88x}{26.88}=\frac{150.00}{26.88}\\x=5.58[/tex]
Hence,
Jerry can buy 5 bags of dog food from $50.00
