Question

A 16 oz pack of green salad costs $2. Find the price of salad per ounce. Also, find the cost of 8 oz, 12 oz, 18oz, and 28 oz packs of salad.

Answer 1

step 1

Find out the unit price

Divide the total cost by the total ounces

so

2/16=$0.125 per ounce

step 2

Find the cost of 8 oz

Multiply the number of ounces by the unit price

so

0.125*8=$1

Find the cost of 12 oz

0.125*12=$1.5

Find the cost of 18 oz

0.125*18=$2.25

Find the cost of 28 oz

0.125*28=$3.5
