Answer:
$720.
Step-by-step explanation:
Karleebordelon6 has a wonderful answer, but I will provide a slightly different approach.
This can be solved by using proportions.
Take a look:
[tex]\frac{2 (ipads)}{480 (dollars)} =\frac{3 (ipads)}{x}[/tex]
After setting up the proportion, we can cross multiply.
[tex]480 * 3 = 1440\\[/tex]
[tex]2 *x = 2x[/tex]
Lastly, divide both products.
[tex]2x = 1440[/tex]
[tex]1440/2 = 720[/tex]
Therefore, the total cost of 3 iPads is $720.
In other words, x = 720.
[tex]\frac{2(ipads)}{480(dollars)} =\frac{3( ipads)}{720(dollars)}[/tex]
