Price for jumbo size smoothie is $8.8. It is calculate by finding the price charged per ounce of smoothie and then multiplying it by the number of ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the price of the 22-ounce smoothie, you will calculate the price per ounce of smoothie

<em>Ounce : Price</em>

12 : $4.8

1 : x

<em>Cross multiply</em>

12x = 4.8

x = $\frac{4.8}{12}$

x = $0.4

So, 1 ounce costs $0.4,

22 ounces would cost---> 22 x 0.4 = $8.8

To check whether the small and large smoothies are priced in the same way,

1 ounce = $ 0.4

12 ounces = 0.4 x 12 = $4.8

16 ounces = 0.4 x 16 = $6.4

Therefore, the appropriate price for the jumbo size 22-ounce smoothie is $8.8 and the small and large smoothies are also priced in the same way.
