if 7 pints of juice for $2.75, how many pints of juice will you get for $7.25
You will get 18 pints of juice for $7.25.
Ming was planning a trip to Western Samoa. Before going, she did some research and learned that the exchange rate is 8 Tala for $2.75. How many Tala would she get if she exchanged $50?
Responses
If Ming exchanged $50 at a rate of 8 Tala for $2.75, she would get 145 Tala.
To solve this problem, first we calculate the exchange rate for $1:
8 Tala / $2.75 = 2.91 Tala/$1
Then, we can multiply $50 by the exchange rate:
$50 x 2.91 Tala/$1 = 145.5 Tala
We round down to the nearest whole number, so Ming would get 145 Tala.
To solve this problem, we need to find the unit price of the juice and then use this information to determine how many pints of juice you can buy for $7.25. The unit price is the cost of one pint of juice.
Given that 7 pints of juice cost $2.75, we can find the unit price by dividing the total cost by the number of pints:
Unit price = Total cost / Number of pints
Unit price = $2.75 / 7 pints
Calculating this, we find that the unit price of the juice is approximately $0.39 per pint (rounded to two decimal places).
Now, to determine how many pints of juice you can buy for $7.25, we divide the given amount by the unit price:
Number of pints = Total cost / Unit price
Number of pints = $7.25 / $0.39 per pint
By calculating this, we find that you can buy approximately 18.59 pints (rounded to two decimal places) of juice for $7.25.
Therefore, you can get about 18.59 pints of juice for $7.25.
