Answer:
Cost of 72 ounces of grapes is $13.5
Explanation:
In order to solve his problem, we first need to get all the values in the same units.
1 pound = 16 ounces
∴ 6 pounds= 16×6 = 96 ounces
Now by unitary method, we solve the question as follows:
price of 96 ounces of grapes = $ 18
price of 1 ounce of grapes = $ (18÷96)
∴ price of 72 ounces of grapes = $ [(18÷96)×72]
= (0.1875×72) = $ 13.5
