Question

A 12-ounce box of cereal costs $3.60. Which equation correctly relates the price (p) with the weight (w) of the cereal?

Answer 1

A. P = 3.3w

Explanation:

A. P = 3.3w

B. P = 0.3w

C. P = 3.6w

D. P = 12w

P = price of the cereal

w = weight of the cereal

p = $3.60

w = 12-ounce

3.60p = 12w

Divide both sides by 3.60

3.60p / 3.60 = 12w / 3.60

P = 3.3w

The correct answer is A. P = 3.3w
