Question

A store sells grass seed in small bags and large bags the small bags. Have 7 pounds of seed 27.83

Answer 1

Answer:

Find out the ratio of price to pound for each bag.

To prove

As given

A store sells grass seed in small bags and large bags.the small bags have 7 pounds of seed for $27.93 .

7 pound = $27.93

Now find out the cost for the 1 pound.

1 pound cost = $3.99

As given large bags cost $66.98.

Now find out pounds in the large bags.

Let us assume that the number of pounds in the large bags be x.

Than

3.99 × x = 66.98

x = 66.98\3.99

x = 16.8 pounds (approx)

Now find out the ratio of  price to pound for each bag.

As small bags weight = 7 pounds

Cost of the small bags = $27.93

price of small bag \ cost of small bags = 27.93\7

As large bags weight = 16.8 pounds

Cost of the large bags = $66.98

price of large bags \cost of large bags = 66.98\16.8

Hence proved
