Question

Which equation can be used to determine the number of ounces of raisins,r, in each bag of trail mix

Answer 1

From the problem we construct the equation that will tells us the number of ounces of raisins, that is:

`8(r+1.25)=18.8`

So, the amount of ounces of raisins is:

`r+1.25=2.35\Rightarrow r=0.5`

So, there will be 0.5 ounces of raisins per bag.
