5 apples cost 10 dollars so how much would 7 apples cost?

so 5/10 is equal to 7/x

you use x because you don't know how much it will cost

so u cross multiply

5 ..... 7

__ = __

10 ..... x

5 times x is 5x 7 times 10 is 70 70 divided by 5 is 14 therefore 7 apples will cost $14.00 that's a proportion
