<h3>Answer is <u>Choice C</u></h3>

Reason:

The purple paint has 4 parts red and 3 parts blue.

The ratio of red to blue is 4:3

Multiply both parts of that ratio by 7 and we end up with 28:21

The two ratios 4:3 and 28:21 will produce the same shade of purple.

It's simple. You have to subtract FIRST 18.75-5=13.75 for the Jones Family. Then you divide 13.75 by 2 bags of popcorn which equals $6.87 for the Jones Family.

For Smith Family, subtract 31.50-4=27.50. Then you divide 27.50 by 6 bags of popcorn which equals $4.58
