Answer 2

Answer: You should pay $0.88 or 88 cents for 200 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that : The price of cheese = $ 4.40 per kilogram

i.e. One kilogram of cheese costs = $4.40

We know that 1 kilogram = 1000 grams

⇒ The price of 1000 grams of cheese = $4.40

⇒ The price of 1 gram of cheese =$\dfrac{\ 4.40}{1000}$  [By unitary method]

⇒ The price of 200 grams of cheese =$200\times\dfrac{\ 4.40}{1000}$  [By unitary method]

$=\ 0.88$

Hence, you should pay $0.88 or 88 cents for 200 grams.
