Question

If 20 oz bottle marked X were to go sale. What would the new price need to be for it to be equal value to the 16 oz bottle ? Were 16 oz right now is $1.10 and 20 oz is $1.50

Answer 1

Answer:

$1.375 ≈ $1.38

Step-by-step explanation:

First, set up a proportion:

$\frac{16\textrm{ oz}}{\ 1.10}}\times\frac{20\textrm{ oz}}{x}$

Then, cross-multiply and solve for x:

$(16)(x)=(20)(1.10)\\16x=22\\x=\frac{22}{16}\\x=1.375$
