Answer 1

The cost of the new package is $0.82.

Conversion of grams to ounces.

The first step is to convert grams to ounces.

1 gram = 0.035274 ounces

142 grams x 0.035274 = 5.0 ounces

Mass of the new package

The new package would be 20% more than the old package. The total mass of the new package in percentage terms is 120%(100 + 20%).

120% x 5 ounces = 6.01 ounces.

New price

$0.64 + (0.03 x 6.01) =

$0.64 + 0.18

= $0.82
