You have:
<span>Cost in dollars --> $2.89 </span>
<span>Total ounces --> 4.25 </span>
<span>But you want to know the per unit cost for *1* ounce. </span>
<span>You have the right method. You want cost ($) per ounce so put the price over the amount in ounces. </span>
<span>2.89 / 4.25 = x / 1 </span>
<span>If you notice, since the denominator is 1, this is simply: </span>
<span>x = 2.89 / 4.25 </span>
<span>So the unit cost is just $2.89 divided by the number of ounces (4.25). </span>
<span>Plug that into your calculator and you get: </span>
<span>0.68 </span>
<span>That's in dollars. So if you want it in cents, move the decimal point 2 places to the right. </span>
<span>Answer: </span>
<span>$0.68 per ounce </span>
<span>or </span>
<span>68 cents per ounce</span>
Since t is your variable you have to assign something for it to represent and 12 is your constant so no matter what it's going to stay the same. You could do "john plants trees for a living. He gets $12 for showing up to work, and $65 for every tree he plants"

Answer:
4.86
Step-by-step explanation:
Melanie uses 8.1 pints of blue paint and white paint for her bedroom
2/5 of this amount is blue paint
Therefore the amount of white paint can be calculated as follows
= 2/5
= 0.4×100
= 40%
60/100 × 8.1
= 0.6 × 8.1
= 4.86
Hence 4.86 pints of white paint will be used to paint the bedroom
