Answer:

$ 3.75

Explanation:

Let the unknown price be x.

Ounces cost

16 ⇒ $ 2.50

24 ⇒ x

Now let us use cross multiplication and find the value of x.

16 × x = 24 × 2.50

16x = 60

Divide both sides by 16.

x = 3.75

Therefore, 24 ounces of bulk rice cost $ 3.75

Hope this helps you :-)

Let me know if you have any other questions :-)
