Question

jordan has $39. He wants to go to the grocery store and buy orange juice that cost $.599 and apples that cost $1.79 per pound. Write an inequality that represents the amount of apples jordan can buy

Answer 1

$0.22

Explanation:

Now we know that 8 ounces total to $1.76. That means that in order to find how much 1 ounce costs, we will end up dividing both sides by 8

8 oz = $1.76

8 oz / 8 = $1.76 / 8

1 oz = $0.22

So, we now know that 1 oz is equal to 22 cents. You can also confirm your answer by multiple 0.22 by 8, and you'll see that you'll get 1.76
