Question

A 6-pack of capri-Suns costs $8.80 .How much would a 24-pack cost if the costs are proportional

Answer 1

now, in a 6-pack, there are 6 bottles, 6-pack.

in a 24-pack, there are 24 bottles, 24-pack.

so, if 6 bottles, cost 8.80, how much will it be for 24 bottles then?


`\bf \begin{array}{ccll} bottles&price\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 6&8.80\\ 24&p \end{array}\implies \cfrac{6}{24}=\cfrac{8.80}{p}\implies p=\cfrac{24\cdot 8.80}{6}`
