Answer:
The butter for one portion of onion costs $ 0.44
Explanation:
Let's recall that 1 pound = 16 ounces, therefore we have:
Cost of one pound of butter = $ 4.13
Cost of sixteen ounces of butter = $ 4.13
How much dose the butter for one portion cost?
We can use Direct Rule of Three for answering this question, as follows:
Ounces Cost
16 4.13
1.7 x
**************************
16x = 4.13 * 1.7
16x = 7.021
x = 7.021/16
x = 0.44 (Rounding to the next cent)
The butter for one portion of onion costs $ 0.44
