Answer 1

Answer:

She got $30.15  more for selling the juice than she paid to buy it

Step-by-step explanation:

Britney bought 3 gallons of juice for $2.75 per gallon. She sold the juice 1-cup servings for $0.80 each. Each serving is 1/16 gallon. How much more did She get for selling the juice than she paid to buy it?

To solve the problem, we will follow the steps below;

1 gallon = $2.75

3 gallons = 3× $2.75 =$ 8.25

We will find the number of servings in in 3 gallons

1- cup serving = 1/16 gallon

number of serving = 3 gallons ÷ 1/16 gallon

                                 = 3×16

                                  = 48

But each cup serving = $ 0.80

48 servings = 48×$0.80 = $38.4

How much more She got for selling the juice than she paid to buy it =

$38.4 -  $ 8.25 =$30.15
