Question

A small business makes bottles of lemonade. Today, they have 528 ounces of lemonade to bottle. Each bottle holds 24 ounces of lemonade. They sell each bottle for 2 dollars. How many dollars will the business recive?

Answer 1

$44

Explanation:

From the above question:

24oz of Lemonade = 1 bottle

528 oz of Lemonade = m

Cross Multiply

24 × m = 528

m = 528/24

m = 22 bottles

We are told that: they sell each bottle for $2

Hence:

1 bottle = $2

22 bottles = z

Cross Multiply

z = 22 × $2

z = $44

Hence, the amount of dollars that the business will receive = $44
