PLEASE HELP!


Jake and Katerina will be posing as a tourists in a Russian city. For their little
“sightseeing” visit, the CIA will pay them a total of $3780 per week. How much will they get paid if the
trip takes 16 days?

Respuesta :

[tex] \frac{3780}{7} = \frac{540}{1} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{540}{1} = \frac{x}{16} [/tex]

x = Amount after 16 days

First I find the unit rate of $3780 after a week (7 days) by dividing both numbers by 7. I come up with 540, meaning that each day the CIA pays $540. I set up a proportion and cross multiply. This leaves me with x = 8640. This means that the CIA will pay $8640 for 16 days.
