How much would 2 note pads cost if 3 were only 87 cents?

Answer 1

To find out how much each pad costs, you have to divide 87 cents by 3. Using your calculator, you can see that that equals 29. Then, you just need to add 29 + 29 to make two, or multiply 29 x2 to get the same answer, which is 58 cents.

Answer 2

2/3 x 87 = 58 cents
