Question

Write a real-word problem that could be modeled by 57.5=p(250). identify the elements of the percent equation and where they appear in your word problem, and then slove the problem.

Answer 1

Peter notices a price tag of a candy box and it says that the price is $57.5. He also notices that the box contains 250 units of multi-flavored candies, Find the cost of each candy.

Let p be the cost of 1 candy.

Then,

57.5 = p(250)

`p=(57.5)/(250)`

= 0.23

Hence, cost of one candy is $0.23.
