Answer:
$1.32 per quart
Explanation:
To find the price per quart, we must divide the price by the number of quarts.
price / quarts
We are told that a 3 gallon container costs $15.84. First, we must find out how many quarts are in 3 gallons.
We know that 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts.
Let’s set up a proportion.
quarts/ gallons = quarts/ gallons
4 quarts /1 gallon = x quarts/ 3 gallons
4/1= x/3
Multiply both sides by 3
3*4/1= x/3*3
3*4/1=x
3*4=x
12=x
There are 12 quarts in 3 gallons.
Now we know how many quarts are in 3 gallons. We can find the price per quart.
price / quarts
It costs $15.84 for 12 quarts.
$15.84/12 quarts
Divide 15.84 by 12
$1.32 / quart
It costs $1.32 per quart of window cleaner.
