Question

Students make 97.5 ounces of liquid soap for a craft fair. They put the soap in7.5 ​-ounce bottles and sell each bottle for ​$4.50. How much do the students earn if they sell all the bottles of liquid​ soap? Explain.

Answer 1

$58.5

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

the total amount of ounces= 97.5 ounces

we are told that the capacity of one bottle is 7.5 ounce

this means that they can actually fill up 97.5/7.5= 13 bottles

Step two:

We are told that one bottle was sold for $4.5

Hence they will sell 13 bottles for 13*4.5= $58.5
