Four students spent $12 on school lunch. At this rate, find the amount 10 students would spend on the same lunch.

10 students would pay for lunch with $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how I know $30 is the correct

1. To figure out how much money it would cost for 1 student I would take the $12 the four students paid for lunch and divide it by 4 so we would know the exact cost for one students lunch (12/4=3 or $3)

2. Now we know $3 is the cost for 1 student. We can now multiply the $3 by 10 (students) so we can get the cost for 10 lunches (3(10)=30 or $30)

3. We got our final answer of $30=10 students lunches.

I hope this helps:)
