jake and katerina will be posing as a tourists in a russian city. for their little
“sightseeing” visit, the cia will pay them a total of $3780 per week. how much will they get paid if the
trip takes 16 days?

x = Amount after 16 days

First I find the unit rate of $3780 after a week (7 days) by dividing both numbers by 7. I come up with 540, meaning that each day the CIA pays $540. I set up a proportion and cross multiply. This leaves me with x = 8640. This means that the CIA will pay $8640 for 16 days.
