5 granola bars cost $4.00
Fill in the table that shows the costs for 10, 15, and 20 granola bars. Find the cost for a single granola bar in each case.
{"table": [{"thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "Number of granola bars"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "Cost (\\$)"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "Cost per bar"}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_value": "$$5$$"}, {"_value": "$$4$$"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$$10$$"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$$15$$"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$$20$$"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Explain why if you can buy $a$ items for $b$ dollars, or buy $2a$ items for $2b$ dollars, the cost per item is the same in either case.
