Given Cost Comparison: We are given the cost of 4 markers and we want to find the cost of 7 markers. This is a proportional relationship problem where the number of markers is directly proportional to the cost. We can set up a ratio comparing the cost of 4 markers to the cost of 7 markers.
Setting Up Proportion: Let x represent the cost of 7 markers. We can set up the proportion as follows: the cost of 4 markers over 4 is equal to the cost of 7 markers over 7. This can be written as (4 markers/$7.04)=(7 markers/x).
Cross-Multiplying: Simplify the proportion by cross-multiplying to solve for x. This gives us 4x=7×7.04.
Solving for x: Now we solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 4. This gives us x=(7×7.04)/4.
Final Calculation: Perform the calculation: x=(7×$(7.04))/4=$(49.28)/4=$(12.32). This is the cost of 7 markers.
Correct Equation: The correct equation that represents this situation is $7.044 markers=x7 markers, which corresponds to option (A) 74=x$7.04.
