Question

3.48 gallons of milk is sold for $10.16. If you want to buy 10.83 gallons of milk, how

much will you have to pay?

Answer 1

$31.62

Explanation:

Assuming the price is proportional to the volume, your price will be ...

price/(10.83 gal) = ($10.16)/(3.48 gal)

price = $10.16(10.83/3.48) ≈ $31.62

You will have to pay $31.62.
