Question

Menchies at Valtiosta Mallcharges $0 30 per ounce of yogurt and $2.00 for awaffle cone. Mix it charges $030 for each one of yogurt and $2.50 for a waffle cone. If you bought a waffle cone and yogurt at each stone, how many owes would you have to get to be charged the same amount?

Answer 1

To be charged the same amount at both Menchies and Mix It, there is no number of ounces of yogurt that would result in the same cost.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many ounces of yogurt we need to buy in order to be charged the same amount at both Menchies and Mix It, we can set up an equation.

Let x be the number of ounces of yogurt.

At Menchies, the cost is $0.30 per ounce, so the total cost is 0.30x.

At Mix It, the cost is $0.30 per ounce as well, so the total cost is also 0.30x.

Since both places charge the same amount, we can set up the equation: 0.30x = 0.30x + 2.00.

Subtracting 0.30x from both sides, we get 0 = 2.00, which is not true.

Therefore, there is no number of ounces that would result in the same amount being charged at both places.
