If 300 jelly beans cost you x dollars How many jelly beans can you purchase for 50 cents at the same rate?

Answer 1

If 300 jellybeans cost you x dollars. How many jellybeans can you purchase for 50 cents at the same rate? Doing this as similar ratios:

300 ... n

----- = ---

..x .....0.50

Cross multiplying you get:

150 = nx

n = 150/x

It depends on x, but you can buy 150/x jellybeans for 0.50.

For example if you could buy 300 jellybeans for 5 dollars, you could buy (150/5) = 30 jellybeans for 0.50. You can buy 30 jelly beans for $0.50 signed mrl
