If 3 books cost $4, how much will 6 books cost?

  • A. $8
  • B. $12
  • C. $6
  • D. $10
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To find the cost of 1 book, divide the total cost by the number of books: $4 / 3 = $1.33 per book. To determine the cost of 6 books, multiply the cost per book by 6: $1.33 * 6 = $8. Therefore, purchasing 6 books will cost $8. Choice B, $12, is incorrect as it incorrectly doubles the cost of 3 books. Choice C, $6, is incorrect as it is half the cost of 3 books. Choice D, $10, is incorrect as it does not accurately calculate the cost of 6 books based on the given information.
