Question

Students make 97.5 ounces of liquid soap for a craft fair. They put the soap in ​7.5-ounce bottles and sell each bottle for $5.50​$. How much do the students earn if they sell all the bottles of liquid​ soap? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:$71.50

Explanation:

Hello!

So first you want to find out how many bottles of soap you can make

To do that you want to divide how many ounces you have by how many ounces it takes to make 1 bottle

97.5 / 7.5 = 13

So you know you can make 13 bottles of soap

So now you want to multiply the number of bottles of soap that can be made by the amount of money you can make per bottle

13 * 5.50 = 71.50

So you know that the students can make $71.50
