Your equation needs to be based on money, and how much it costs to buy x number of ounces of the granola at the given price. .37x = 4.39 is your equation which asks how many ounces of granola did Kristin get if she paid 37 cents per ounce and spent a total of 4.39. Solve the equation for x. Divide both sides by .37
