Question

If it costs $2.75 for 10 ounces of tea leaves, how much will it cost for 38 ounces of tea leaves?

Answer 1

2.75/10=X/38
(2.75X38)/10=x
104.5/10=x
X=10.45

Answer 2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem using a proportion:

Cost of 10 ounces of tea leaves / 10 = Cost of 38 ounces of tea leaves / 38

We know that the cost of 10 ounces of tea leaves is $2.75. We can solve for the cost of 38 ounces by cross-multiplying and solving for the unknown variable:

2.75 / 10 = x / 38

(2.75 * 38) / 10 = x

104.5 / 10 = x

10.45 = x

Therefore, it will cost $10.45 for 38 ounces of tea leaves.
