A self-serve frozen yogurt restaurant charges its customers according to the weight of their filled frozen yogurt cup. So, the amount they charge is directly proportional to the weight of the purchase. If they charge $5.04 for a 12-ounce cup, how much do they charge for a cup weighing 8 ounces?​

Divide 5.04 by 12, which is .42 meaning that 42 cents is one ounce. .42 x 8 = $3.36. Hope this helps!
