Question

Sammy went to the candy store on Monday, bought 12 ounces of candy, and saw that the total was $7.80. Sammy went again to the store on Wednesday, bought 9 ounces of candy, and saw that the total was $5.85. Write an equation for the cost of candy using function notation:f(x). Find the average cost of one ounce of candy.

Answer 1

Average cost per ounce is $0.65

Explanation:

My Notes:

Monday - 12 Oz. = $7.80

Wednesday - 9 Oz. = $5.85

Find the average cost per 1 Oz. per candy.

`(12)/(7.8) = 0.65`

The AVERAGE cost per ounce is $0.65.
