Explanation:

Answer 2

(a)The cost of per ounce of yogurt = $0.45

(b) The the cost of Reid's bowl = $3.51

Explanation:

Here, according to the question :

The cost of 9.2 ounce yogurt bowl = $4 .14

The cost of 8.1 ounce yogurt bowl = $3.65

(a) Now,
`\textrm{Cost of 1 ounce of yogurt}  = \frac{\textrm{Price of n ounce of yogurt}}{\textrm{ n}}`

=
`\frac{\textrm{Price of 9.2 ounce of yogurt}}{\textrm{ 9.2}} = (4.14)/(9.2)   = 0.45`

So, the cost of per ounce of yogurt = $0.45

(b) Now, the amount if yogurt in Reid's Bowl = 7.8 ounces

So, the total cost of her bowl with 7.8 ounce yogurt = 7.8 x ( cost of 1 ounce of yogurt)

= 7.8 x ( $0.45) = $3.51

So, the the cost of Reid's bowl = $3.51
