Question

At the supermarket you can fill your own Honeybear container. A customer buys 12 ounces of honey for $5.40.

Answer 1

Total number of oz of honey = 12 oz.
Cost of 12 oz of honey = $5.40.
Cost per oz of honey = 5.40 divided 12 = $0.45 per oz.
Therefore,
a) Cost per ounce of honey = $0.45.
b) Number of ounces we can buy for one dollar = 12 divided by 5.40 = 2.22 oz approximatly.
c)
h = 2.22c, wherr h is the number of ounces of honey for c dollars.
c=0.45h, where c is the total cost of h number of ounces of honey.
d) Let us take c=0.45h equation for graph the situation.
x-axis would be for h number of ounces of honey and y-axis is the total cost c of h ounces of honey.
Let us find some values of h and c for the graph.
For equation: c=0.45h for h=1,we get c=$0.45.
If we plug h=2, we get c= 0.45*2 = $0.90.
If we plug h=3, we get c= 0.45*3 = $1.35.
Therefore, we would plot (1,0.45), (2,0.90) and (3,1.35) on the graph and draw a straight line.
