32 pounds of apples cost $125. how many pounds of apples can you get with $26.

Divide the total cost by the weight bought to get cost per pound:

$125 / 32 pounds = $3.906 per pound

Now divide the amount you want to spend by the price per pound:

$26 / $3.906 = 6.656 pounds.

sorry, i'm new here and i'm just trying to figure this out. try quizlet. rate 5* you!

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
