Sam paid $8.28 for 18 stamps. At this rate, how much would it cost Sam to buy 12 stamps?

$5.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sam paid $8.28 for 18 stamps.

Thus, the cost of 18 stamps = $8.28

Then the cost of 1 stamp=

Thus, the cost of 1 stamp=$0.46

With the same rate , the cost of 12 stamps=

Therefore, the cost of 12 stamps= $5.52

hence, it costs $5.52 to Sam to buy 12 stamps.

8.28÷18 = 0.46

0.46 is the cost if 1 stamp

cost of 12 stamps= 0.46×12 = $5.52

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
