Question: 1 / 400

If a store sells 24 apples for $36, how much would 15 apples cost?

$15.00

$22.50

To determine how much 15 apples would cost, we can first find the cost of one apple by dividing the total cost by the number of apples sold. The store sells 24 apples for $36.

Calculating the cost per apple:

\[

\text{Cost per apple} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of apples}} = \frac{36}{24} = 1.50

\]

Now that we know each apple costs $1.50, we can find the cost of 15 apples by multiplying the cost per apple by the number of apples:

\[

\text{Cost of 15 apples} = \text{Cost per apple} \times \text{Number of apples} = 1.50 \times 15

\]

Calculating this gives:

\[

1.50 \times 15 = 22.50

\]

Thus, the total cost for 15 apples is $22.50, making this the correct answer. Understanding the process of calculating the cost per apple and then using that value to determine the cost for a different quantity is key in solving similar problems effectively.
