This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
Answer: The two equations are:
y = 5x + 40
y = 3x + 60
In each problem, you are given the cost per ride. That is the slope, it goes in front of the x.
Then, you are also given the entry fee. That is the y-intercept, it goes at the end of the equation.
Now, the equations are in slope intercept form. Y = MX + B
Graphing the equations will give an answer of (10, 90)
This means for both plans 10 rides will cost $90.
