Answer 2

Answer:

The price per kilogram is $6

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that

Number of kilograms of olive oil purchased by Alice is  $4\frac{1}{2}$

The cost  is $27

so we have

cost of  $4\frac{1}{2}$  kg of olive oil = $ 27

To find the find the cost of 1 kg of olive oil we will use unitary method

Cost of 1 kg of olive oil = $\frac{Total \ cost }{total \ weight \ in \ kg}$

                                       $= \frac{27}{4\frac{1}{2} }$

                                        $= \frac{27}{4.5}$    ( since $4\frac{1}{2} = 4.5$)

                                         $= 6$

Hence the price per kilogram is $6
