Answer:
About 152 pieces of candy
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up equal proportions to solve for the $5.99 bag.
We know that 24 pieces = .99, so
Make sure to keep the pieces on top, and the dollars on bottom (or vice versa). If your units are messed up, it will not work.
Cross-multiply.
25(5.99) = .99x
Simplify.
149.75 = .99x
Divide both sides by .99.
x = 151.26 = about 151 pieces of candy
Answer
Find out the ratio of price to pound for each bag.
To prove
As given
A store sells grass seed in small bags and large bags.the small bags have 7 pounds of seed for $27.93 .
7 pound = $27.93
Now find out the cost for the 1 pound.
1 pound cost = $3.99
As given large bags cost $66.98.
Now find out pounds in the large bags.
Let us assume that the number of pounds in the large bags be x.
Than
3.99 × x = 66.98
x = 16.8 pounds (approx)
Now find out the ratio of price to pound for each bag.
As small bags weight = 7 pounds
Cost of the small bags = $27.93
As large bags weight = 16.8 pounds
Cost of the large bags = $66.98
Hence proved
