To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion to find out how many CL rulers can be bought with sh 5,400.
Let's denote:
- Number of CL rulers that can be bought with sh 5,400 as x.
Now, we know that:
- 4 rulers cost sh 3,600, which implies that 1 ruler costs
.
We need to find out how many CL rulers can be bought with sh 5,400. Since 1 ruler costs 900 sh, we can set up the proportion:
[tex]\frac{900 \text{ sh}}{1 \text{ ruler}} = \frac{5400 \text{ sh}}{x \text{ rulers}}
[/tex]
Cross-multiplying, we get:
[tex] 900x = 5400 [/tex]
Divide both sides by 900 to solve for x:
[tex]x = \frac{5400}{900} = 6 [/tex]
Therefore, with sh 5,400, you can buy 6 CL rulers.
