Question

Cereal costs 2.79 for 16.4 ounces. At this rate how much does 25 ounces of cereal cost? Round to the Nearest Cent.

Answer 1

$4.25

Explanation:

We can create a proportion to find how much 25 oz will cost:

`(2.79)/(16.4)` =
`(x)/(25)`

We can cross multiply to find x.

16.4x = 69.75

x = 4.25

So, this means 25 ounces of cereal will be $4.25
