Question

A store sells two brands of hand lotion. Brand X costs $3.25 for 5 fluid ounces.

Brand Y costs $6.00 for 8 fluid ounces. How much less per fluid ounce does

Brand X cost than Brand Y? Show your work.

Answer 1

0.10 less

Explanation:

First you need to find how much for one fluid ounce, so for Brand X you would divide 3.25 by 5 to get 0.65 and for Brand Y 6.00 divided by 8 to get 0.75. Now you know how much for 1 ounce of each brand so next you just have to subtract 0.65 (Brand X) from 0.75 (Brand Y) to get that Brand X costs $0.10 less than brand Y.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

`(3,25)/(5)=0,65 \\` for brand x for 1 fluid ounces

`(6)/(8)=0,75` for brand y

0,75-0,65=0,1

Brand x costs $0,1 less
