Camillo needs 2,400 oz of jelly for the food challenge. If 48 oz of jelly cost $3.84, how much will Camillo spend on jelly? Explain how you can find your answer.
To find out how much Camillo will spend on jelly, we need to determine the total cost of purchasing 2,400 oz of jelly.
First, we need to calculate the cost per unit of jelly. We can do this by dividing the cost by the amount of jelly:
$3.84 / 48 oz = $0.08/oz
Therefore, the cost per ounce of jelly is $0.08.
To find out the total cost of purchasing 2,400 oz of jelly, we multiply the cost per ounce by the total amount of jelly:
$0.08/oz * 2,400 oz = $192
Therefore, Camillo will spend $192 on jelly.
