Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay let start off with what information do we have.
The students made 84.5 ounces of liquid soap
6.5 ounces are in each bottle
They sell the bottles at 5.50 dollars
So the question is how much do they earn if they sell all the bottles of soap?
First off how many ounces of soap do they have again? 84.5 ounces. Each bottle contains how many ounces? 6.5.
So let figure out how many bottles do they have. To do that we have to divide the total ounces of liquid available and the amount of liquid each bottle contains so...
84.5/6.5 equals 13 bottles.
So we now know that the students made 13 bottles over all. But then again, how much did they make with the bottles. We know that each bottle being sold would be 5.50 dollars and we have 13 bottles. So let try to multiple both numbers to get the price.
13($5.50)=$71.50
So there is your answer, the students earned 71 dollars and 50 cents by selling the bottles of liquid soap.
I hope this helps you and if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask or even comment! Hope you have a great day. Oh and I have two sheets attached to show the work. Again have a great day.
