Answer: 8 gumballs
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this problem with the Rule of three, since we are given as data three factors and one is unknown.
If 2 gumballs cost 8 cents, how many gumballs can we buy with 32 cents?:
[tex]2 gumballs[/tex]-----[tex]8 cents[/tex]
[tex]x[/tex]-----[tex]32 cents[/tex]
Then:
[tex]x=\frac{(2 gumballs)(32 cents)}{8 cents}[/tex]
[tex]x=8 gumballs[/tex] We can buy 8 gumballs with 32 cents
