$$ 2.28$ $$2.28$

Explanation:

$using proportion$ $"using "color(blue)"proportion"$

$5 apples \to $ 0.95$ $5" apples "to$0.95$

$12 apples \to $ 0.95 \times \frac{12}{5} = $ 2.28$ $12" apples"to$0.95xx12/5=$2.28$

If 5 apples cost 0.95, then one apple will cost $\frac{0.95}{5} = 0.19$ $0.95/5=0.19$

Now 12 apples will cost $12 \times 0.19 = 2.28$ $12xx0.19=2.28$

$$ 2.28$ $$2.28$

Explanation:

Since $5$ $5$ apples cost $$ .95$ $$.95$ , the cost of $1$ $1$ apple is

$\frac{$ 0.95}{5} = $ 0.19$ $($0.95)/5 = $0.19$

Hence, the cost of $12$ $12$ apples $= $ 0.19 \cdot 12 = $ 2.28$ $= $0.19 * 12=$2.28$

Therefore, you can find the cost of any number of apples by multiplying the number of apples with the cost of each apple.
