how I stopped a alien invation using proportion

An alien landed in the middle of the city and he/she was going to contact the other aliens and destroy the Earth unless if somebody would answer 3 proportion questions and I just happened to be walking by so I will.

Fresh pickerel is advertised in a local market.
2kg
Fresh pickerel
17.5o

a)How much will 6kg of pickerel cost?


6 kg of pickerel will cost $52.50.


b)Use a proportion to find the cost of 1600g of pickerel.
