Anewspaper stand sold 1000 copies of the city newspaper for $1600. write and solve an equation to find the price of one copy.

The correct answer is $1,60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Analyzing the information we have we can say that:

1000 copies of the city newspaper cost $ 1600.

Now we must find out how much each copy cost.

A good way to find out this would be through a cross-multiplication.

Where x will be the value we have to find out:

if 1000 copies 1600

         1 copy x

1000 x = 1600. 1

x = 1600: 1000

x = 1.60

This way we can show that a copy cost $ 1.60.

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x
