Answer:

a) Number of laundry he can do with this box = 78 laundries.

b) Price he paying for each load = 0.256 $

Step-by-step explanation:

Total scoop contained in detergent box = 195 scoops.

Scoops used by each load of laundry = scoops = 2.5 scoops

Number of laundry he can do with this box = 195/2.5 = 78 laundries.

Price of detergent box = 19.99 $

Price he paying for each load = Total price/ Number of loads

= 19.99/78

= 0.256 $
