24 oz. of soda cost $1.29. At that rate, how much would you expect 30 oz. of soda to cost?
Solve this proportion.
24/1.29 = 30/x
To find out how much 30 oz. of soda would cost based on the rate given, you can set up a proportion.
First, calculate the cost per ounce of soda:
1.29 dollars / 24 ounces = x dollars / 30 ounces
Now, cross multiply and solve for x:
x dollars = (1.29 dollars / 24 ounces) * 30 ounces
x dollars = 1.61375 dollars
Therefore, you would expect 30 oz. of soda to cost approximately $1.61.
