tom paid $16 for 6 audio cassettes. Which proportion can be used to find the amount of money (m) he would pay for 9 audio cassettes

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, Tom paid $16 for 6 audio cassettes and we are told to find the proportion to get the amount of money (m) he would pay for 9 audio cassettes. To get this, we have to know the amount of the cost of 1 audio cassette. Since Tom paid $16 for 6 audio cassettes, 1 audio cassette will cost:

= $16/6

= $2.67

1 audio cassette will cost $2.67

The amount of money spent will depend on the number of audio cassettes. Therefore,

m = $2.67 × n

m = $2.67n

where n = number of audio cassette

The amount of money he'll pay for 9 cassette will be:

m = $2.67n

m = $2.67 × 9

m = $24.03
