Question

A grocery store sells snacks by weight. A six-ounce bag of mixed nuts costs $3.60. Predict the cost of a two-ounce bag. Please help me!!

Answer 1

`6\ ounce\ bag\ cost\ 3,60\$\\ 2\ ounce\ bag \ cost\ x\\\\ From\ proportion:\\ 6-3,60\\ 2-x\\\\ Cross\ multiplication\\ 6x=3,60*2\\ 6x=7,2\ \ | divide\ by\ 6\\x=1,2\$\\\\ 2\ ounce\ bag\ costs\ 1,2\$.`

Answer 2

Answer: Cost of two-ounce bags is $1.2

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bags of mixed nuts =6 ounce

Cost of bag =$3.60

We'll use the unitary method,

`\text{ Cost of 6 ounce bags}=\$3.60\\\\\text{ Cost of 1 ounce bag}=(3.60)/(6)=\$0.6\\\\\text{ Cost of 2 ounce bags}=0.6* 2=\$1.2`

Hence, cost of two-ounce bags is $1.2
