Question

Alex buys 32oz of yogurt for $2.56. John buys a Goz yogurt for $0.48. Are the unit prices equal? Write an equation using the unit price to represent this relationship if they are equal. options: Yes, y=5.33x . Yes, y=12.5x, No, the ratios are not equivalent . Yes, y=0.08x

Answer 1

Yes, y=0.08x​

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit price can be calculated as the price divided by the number of ozs, so the unit prices are:

`\frac{\text{Price}}{\text{Ounces}}=\frac{\text{ \$2.56}}{32\text{ oz}}=\text{ \$0.08 per ounce}`
`(Price)/(Ounces)=\frac{\text{ \$0.48}}{6\text{ oz}}=\text{ \$0.08 per ounce}`

Therefore, the unit prices are equal, so the equation that represents the relationship is:

y = kx

Where k is the unit price, so replacing k by 0.08, we get:

y = 0.08x

So, the answer is:

Yes, y=0.08x​
