Answer:
(a) the cost per pint = $4 per pint
(b) the number of pints per dollar = 0.25 pints per dollar
(c) the number of pints you can afford for $20.00 = 5 pints of raspberries
(d) the cost of 8 pints of raspberries = $32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
cost of 3 pints of raspberries = $12.00
(a) the cost per pint
[tex]= \frac{\$12}{3 \ pints} = \$4 \ \ per \ pints[/tex]
(b) the number of pints per dollar
[tex]= \frac{ 3 \ pints}{\$12 } = \frac{3 \times\frac{1}{12} }{12 \times\frac{1}{12} } = \frac{\frac{1}{4} \ pints }{1\$} = \frac{0.25 \ pints}{1 \$} = 0.25 \ pints \ per \ dollar[/tex]
(c) the number of pints you can afford for $20.00
= (0.25 pints per dollar) x ($20.00) = 5 pints of raspberries
(d) the cost of 8 pints of raspberries
= ($4 per pints) x (8 pints) = $32
