Question

jordan and ethan sell popcorn for their scout troop. The troop earns $12 for every $24 of popcorn sold. How much will the troop earn if the boys sell $48 worth of popcorn? If they sell $84 worth of popcorns?

Solution

$$\frac{12}{24} = \frac{x}{48} \rightarrow x = \frac{12*48}{24} = 24.$$

If the boys sell $48 of popcorn, troops will earn $24.

$$\frac{12}{24} = \frac{x}{84} \rightarrow x = \frac{12*84}{24} = 42.$$

If the boys sell $84 worth of popcorn, troops will earn $42.

Answer: $24; $42.
