Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by proportions, using rule of three.

We have that:

You buy 78 peaches for $77.95. How much you pay to buy 4 peaches?

78 peaches - $77.95

4 peaches - x

[tex]78x = 4*77.95[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{4*77.95}{78}[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

You pay $4 for 4 peaches.
