Two shirts cost $12.50. How much will it cost to buy five of the shirts?
A. $6.25
B. $31.25
C. $25.00
D. $30.00
We can set up a ratio with the number of shirts and the cost:
2 shirts cost $12.50
So, 1 shirt costs $6.25 (divide both sides by 2)
To find the cost of 5 shirts, we can multiply:
5 shirts * $6.25 per shirt = $31.25
Therefore, the answer is B. $31.25.
