Question

A store has apples on sale for $28.00 for 8 pounds. If an apple is approximately 5 ounces, how many apples can you buy for $112.00? Complete the explanation.

Answer 1

101 apples

Explanation:

8 lbs x 16 oz = 128 oz

$28 / 128 oz = 22¢ per oz

$112 / 0.22¢ = 509 oz

509 oz / 5 oz = 101.8 apples
