Question

A cereal company's breakfast bars have 150% as much protein as they do sugar. Which equation represents the relationship between the bars' protein content and their sugar content?

A. P = S - 1.5
B. P = S + 1.5
C. p = 0.15s
D. p = 1.55

Answer 1

The correct equation to represent the relationship where breakfast bars have 150% as much protein as sugar is P = 1.5S. The options provided seem to have a typo, none matches exactly, but option (C) may be a misprint for the correct equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to find the equation that represents the relationship between the protein content and the sugar content of breakfast bars from a cereal company, given that the bars have 150% as much protein as they do sugar. The equation which accurately represents this relationship is P = 1.5S, where P stands for protein and S stands for sugar.

The correct option is not listed directly in the choices provided, suggesting the possibility of a typo. However, looking at the options given, if we interpret option (C) as P = 1.5S instead of p = 0.15s, it would most closely reflect the relationship described.
