Question

If 16 ounces of bulk rice costs $2.50, how much would 24 ounces cost?Also, could you tell me how much it costs per ounce?

Answer 1

24 oz costs $3.75

The rice cost per oz is $0.16

Explanation:

Step 1: Set up proportion

16/2.5 = 24/x

Step 2: Cross multiply

16x = 24(2.5)

Step 3: Solve

16x = 60

x = 15/4 or 3.75
