A store sells snacks by weight. A six ounce bag of mixed nuts costs $3.60. Will a two ounce bag of nuts cost more than or less than $1.25?
To determine whether a two ounce bag of nuts will cost more or less than $1.25, we need to calculate the unit price of the mixed nuts.
First, we find the price per ounce for the 6-ounce bag of mixed nuts:
Price per ounce = Total price / Total weight
Price per ounce = $3.60 / 6 ounces = $0.60 per ounce
Next, we can calculate the price for a two ounce bag using the unit price we just found:
Price for a two ounce bag = Price per ounce * Total weight
Price for a two ounce bag = $0.60 per ounce * 2 ounces = $1.20
Therefore, a two ounce bag of nuts will cost less than $1.25, as it will cost $1.20.
