Respuesta :

We want to find the cost if you want to buy 6 pounds of corn flakes, we will see that the cost is $12.50

We know that a 20 oz of corn flakes costs $2.50.

We want to find the price of 6 pounds of corn flakes.

Remember that:

1lb = 16 oz

Then in 6lb we have 6*(16 oz) = 96 oz

And you can't buy parts of a box (you only can buy complete boxes)

Then you need to buy 5 boxes (for a total of 100 oz).

The cost would be:

5*$2.50 = $12.50
