ANSWER

EXPLANATION
It was given that,a bottle of la belle bœuf contains 3/8 ounces of perfume.
We want to find how many ounces of perfume would 4 1/2 bottles contain.
If 1 bottle contains 3/8 ounces;
Then 4½ bottles should contain more ounces.
If more less divides.
4½ bottles contain


=1.6875 ounces.
20p + 9t = 44.4
Subtract 9t from both sides:
20p = 44.4 - 9t
Divide both sides by 20:
p = 2.22 - 0.45t
