What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

Conversion means to convert the same thing into different units.

If apples are on sale at 15 for $3.

We know that $1 = 100 cents

Then the number of the cents in 3 dollars will be

⇒ 3 x 100

⇒ 300 cents

Then the cost of each apple will be the ratio of the 300 cents and 15 apple.

⇒ 300 / 15

⇒ 20 cents per apple

Thus, the cost of each apple will be 20 cents per apple.

Then the correct option is C.
