Question

A 64 ounce of VA splash cost $2.49 how much would it be per cent per ounce rounded to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

3.89 cents per ounce

Step-by-step explanation

to solve this we need to do a conversion of units,

the equivalences are

`\begin{gathered} \text{ 1 \$ }\rightarrow100\text{ cents} \\ \end{gathered}`

so

Step 1

find the cost in dollars

to know the cost in cents, just multiply the cost in dollars by 100

hence

`\begin{gathered} \text{cost}_(cents)=2.49\cdot100=249 \\ \text{cost}_(cents)=249\text{ cents} \end{gathered}`

Step 2

now, find the rate

the rate is given by.

`rate=\frac{\text{cost( cents) }}{\text{amount( ounces)}}`

now, replace

`rate=\frac{249\text{ cents}}{64\text{ ounces}}=3.89\text{ cents per ounce}`

therefore, the answer is

3.89 cents per ounces
