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.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
m = 2, n = - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2m + 3n = - 5 → (1)
5m + 3n = 1 → (2)
Subtract (2) from (1) term by term to eliminate n
2m - 5m = - 5 - 1
- 3m = - 6 ( divide both sides by - 3 )
m = 2
Substitute m = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for n
Substituting into (1)
2(2) + 3n = - 5
4 + 3n = - 5 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
3n = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )
n = - 3
The 2 angles at a vertex are supplementary (one interior and one exterior) the exterior angle is = the the sum of the 2 remote interior angles..
