Answer:
(8)(4.23)=33.84 ounces in the juice boxes and the price for the boxes is $2.39. We can set up the proportionÂ
2.39 dollars33.84 ounces=x dollars1 gallon
and solve for x. We see that we will need to convert ounces to gallons, and as there are 128 ounces in a gallon, we have
2.39 dollars33.84 ounces⋅Â128 ounces1 gallon≈9.04 dollars1 gallon,
so x≈9.04, and the price of the juice is about $9.04 per gallon.Â
Â
We wish to find the price per a package of boxes of the cider. The price for the gallon of cider is $7.00, and there are 128 ounces in a gallon, giving the proportion
7 dollars128 ounces=x dollars1package of boxes.
To solve for x, we see that we need to convert ounces into "package of boxes", which refers to the eight 4.23-ounces boxes that the juice is sold in. So,Â
7 dollars128 ounces⋅33.84 ounces1 package of boxes≈1.85 dollars1 package of boxes,
and x≈1.85 and the price of the cider is about $1.85 per eight 4.23-ounce boxes.Â
Â
Utilizing our previous answers to part a and b, we see that the cider is the more cost-effective choice. Â (In fact, Peter would have to buy four 8-packs of juice to get at least a gallon, for a cost of $9.56, much more than the $7 it would take to get a gallon of cider.)
Â
The unit rates we used in parts a and b are dollars per gallon and dollars per pack of eight 4.23-ounce boxes.Â
Â
Additional unit rates could be dollars per ounce, cents per ounce, ounces per dollar, dollars per 4.23-ounce box, etc.Â
