Answer:
Question 1
Was the price per ounce reduced by the same percent as the size of the cup? No it's not the same
Question 2
If not, find the price difference per ounce in terms of a percent.
13.8%
Explanation:
The first yoghurt cup size = 9 oz
The second and recent yoghurt cup size = 7 oz
The difference in ounces = 9 oz - 7 oz
= 2 oz
Converting this difference to percentage
= 2 oz/ 9 oz × 100%
= 22.222222222%
The percent reduction in cup size is approximately
22.2%.
The first retail price per ounce = 87 cents
The second and recent retail price per ounce =75 cents
The difference in prices = 87 cents - 75 cents
= 12 cents
Converting this difference to percentage
= 12 cents / 87 cents × 100%
= 13.793103448%
The percent reduction in yoghurt price per ounce is approximately
13.8%.
Question 1
Was the price per ounce reduced by the same percent as the size of the cup?
From the above calculation,
Percent reduction in price per ounce =
13.8%
Percent reduction in the size of the cup = 22.2%
13.8% ≠ 22.2%
Therefore, it is not the same
Question 2
If not, find the price difference per ounce in terms of a percent.
Therefore, the price difference per ounce in terms of percent is
13.793103448%.
Approximately ≈ 13.8%
