The local hardware store wants to increase their inventory. last year 15 electric screwdrivers cost them $300. at the same cost, how much would 45 screwdrivers cost them this year?

Firstly, we need to know the price of each electric screwdriver last year. So if 15 electric screwdrivers cost $300, this would mean that each costs $20. Now, if 45 screwdrivers, having the same cost last year, the cost for each screwdriver would be $6.67. Hope this answers your question. Have a great day!
