Well, first of all, you have to compare the two statements 1 fence= $25 X= $165 The X represents the unknown number of fences which you have to find. The next step is to cross and multiply which means 165 will multiply 1 and X will multiply 25 Therefore: 165 x 1= X x 25 165=25X Next, divide both sides by 25 165/25=25X/25 165 divided by 25 is 6.6 which is approximately 7 Hope I helped. Good luck
