Price-club sells a 12-ounce box of crackers for $2.59 and Shop Mart sells 1-pound box of crackers for $4.68. The unit price at P

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The unit price at Price-Club is $0.2158 per ounce.

The unit price at Shop Mart is $0.2925 per ounce.

Step-by-step explanation:

Price Club:

12-ounce box of crackers for $2.59

12 ounces - $2.59

1 ounce - x

$12x = 2.59$

$x = \frac{2.59}{12}$

$x = 0.2158$

The unit price at Price-Club is $0.2158 per ounce.

Shop Mart:

1-pound box of crackers for $4.68.

1 pound is 16 ounces. So

16 ounces - $4.68

1 ounce - x

$16x = 4.68$

$x = \frac{4.68}{16}$

$x = 0.2925$

The unit price at Shop Mart is $0.2925 per ounce.

Find the coordinats of P

Crazy boy [7]

$\textit{internal division of a line segment using ratios} \\\\\\ A(8,6)\qquad B(-2,-9)\qquad \qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{3:2} \\\\\\ \cfrac{A\underline{P}}{\underline{P} B} = \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{3}{2}\implies 2A=3B\implies 2(8,6)=3(-2,-9)$

$(\stackrel{x}{16}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{12})=(\stackrel{x}{-6}~~,~~ \stackrel{y}{-27})\implies P=\underset{\textit{sum of the ratios}}{\left( \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of x's}}{16-6}}{3+2}~~,~~\cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{sum of y's}}{12-27}}{3+2} \right)} \\\\\\ P=\left( \cfrac{10}{5}~~,~~\cfrac{-15}{5} \right)\implies P=(2~~,~~-3)$
