Question

A large box contains 11 smaller boxes of raisins. The price of the large box is $2.75. Each of the smaller boxes of raisins costs the same amount. Which could be used to find d d , the price of a smaller box?

Answer 1

Given that large box that contain 11 small boxes costs $2.75. The price, d, f small box will be given by:
d=(Cost of large box)/(Number of small boxes)
Cost of large box=$2.75
Number of small boxes=11
hence
d=2.75/11
Hence the answer is d=2.75/11
this could be simplified further to obtain:
d=0.25
