Answer 1

Answer: $3.60

Step-by-step explanation:

2.40 ÷ 8 = 0.3 (3 cents per slice)

0.3 x 12 = 3.60

Answer 2

Cost of package with 12 slices = $3.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost of 8 slices of bread = $2.40

Unit rate per slice =
`(2.40)/(8)`

Unit rate per slice = $0.30 per slice

Cost of package with 12 slices = 12 * 0.30

Cost of package with 12 slices = $3.60

Hence,

Cost of package with 12 slices = $3.60
