To write a word problem that involves a proportional relationship:
Sam bought 4kg of apples for $12. How many kilograms of apples, he can buy for $30?
Sam bought 4kg of apples for $12.
So, cost of 1 kg of apples is,
[tex]\frac{12}{4}=3[/tex]
Let x be the number of kg apples.
Therefore, He can buy 3x kg apples for $30.
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x=30 \\ x=\frac{30}{3} \\ x=10 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, He can buy 10 kg apples for $30.
