Answer:
Cost of 45 screwdrivers will be = $900
Step-by-step explanation:
Last year 15 electric screwdrivers cost to the local hardware store = $300
So per screwdriver cost = [tex]\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total number of screw drivers}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{300}{15}[/tex]
= $20
Now we have to calculate the cost of 45 screw drivers.
Since cost of 1 screwdriver = $20
So cost of 45 screwdrivers = 20×45 = $900
