Question

A self-tanning lotion advertises that a 3-oz bottle will provide seven applications. Jen found a great deal on a 13-0z bottle of the self-tanning lotion she had been using. Based on the advertising claims, how many applications of the self-tanner should Jen expect?

Answer 1

Jen can expect approximately 30 applications from the 13-oz bottle of self-tanning lotion.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many applications of the self-tanning lotion Jen can expect from the 13-oz bottle, we can set up a proportion using the information given in the advertising claims. The proportion is:

3 oz / 7 applications = 13 oz / x applications

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and solve for the unknown:

3x = 91

x = 91 / 3 = 30.33

Jen can expect approximately 30 applications from the 13-oz bottle of self-tanning lotion.
