Question

A 64 ounce VA splash costs $2.28 how much would it cost per ounce to the nearest hundredth

Answer 1

Given the question in the question tab, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the cost of getting 64 ounce of the VA splash

`64\text{ ounce VA splash=\$2.28}`

STEP 2: Calculate the amount of a unit ounce of the VA splash

`\begin{gathered} 64\text{ ounce VA splash=\$2.28} \\ \text{Let x be equal to the price per unit ounce} \\ 1\text{ ounce VA splash=x} \\ By\text{ cross multiplication; } \\ 1*2.28=64* x \\ 2.28=64x \\ \text{Divide both sides by 64} \\ (2.28)/(64)=(64x)/(64) \\ 0.035625=x \\ x=\text{\$}0.035625 \\ x\approx\text{\$}0.04\text{ to the nearest hundredth} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the cost per ounce of the VA splash to the nearest hundredth is $0.04
