At Nivea's Newsstand, 6 magazines cost $12.00. How many magazines could you buy with $16.00?

This is a fun, but simple unit rate problem! We are solving for x.

Divide 12 by 6 (cost is usually always first when dividing for unit rate). You’ll get 2.

That means, for every one magazine, it’s 2 dollars.

Now, divide 2 by 16.
Your answer should be 8!

You can purchase 8 magazines for $16 dollars!
