Answer 2

Answer: 2.48

Explanation:

We have the ad that shows:

6 lemons for .....................1.86 dollars

8 lemons..............................?

the cost for 8 lemons= (8*1.86)/6=2.48

of course we can use another method,

1.86/6=0.31 cents for 1 lemon

8*0.31=2.48 and we get the same answer
