1 kilogram of baking soda costs $4.5
Explanation:
To solve this problem, we will follow the steps bellow:
Using proportion;
Let x be the cost of 1 kg of baking soda
kilogram = $ 2
1 kilogram = x
Cross - multiply
× x = $2 × 1
× x = $2
= $2
Multiply both-side of the equation by 9
× 9= $2 × 9
At the left-hand side of the equation 9 will cancel-out 9, hence our equation becomes
4x = $18
Divide both-side of the equation by 4
= $
x = $4.5
