This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
Answer:
x=9/2
Step-by-step explanation:
31 hours.
first I times $30 by 15, an I got 450, then I got 1132 and took away 450 and I got 682, finally I divide 682 by 22 and got 31
We know, distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
4(x + 2) = 4x + 8
In short, Your Answer would be Option B
Hope this helps!
The solution to this equation is n= -49.6.
n/4=-12.4
n/4*4=-12.4 * 4
n= -49.6
