Question

At the bulk food store, Jerry bought 200 g of mixed nuts that cost $2.50.

Answer 1

Given:

Cost of 200 g of mixed nuts = $2.50.

To find:

The price of 450 g of nuts.

Solution:

We have,

Cost of 200 g of mixed nuts = 2.50 dollars

Cost of 1 g of mixed nuts = $\dfrac{2.50}{200}$ dollars

Cost of 450 g of mixed nuts = $\dfrac{2.50}{200}\times 450$ dollars

                                               = $\dfrac{2.50}{4}\times 9$ dollars

                                               = $5.625$ dollars

Therefore, the price of 450 g of nuts is $5.625.
