12 oz is 2 of the 20 oz
26 oz is one 20 oz, and one 6 oz package
48 oz is one 36 oz, and two 6 oz packages
You're welcome, Maribeth! I'm glad I could help. Now, let's work on calculating the cost for 12 oz, 26 oz, and 48 oz using the given information.
To find the cost for different amounts, we can use a proportion.
First, let's find the price per ounce. We can calculate this by dividing the cost by the number of ounces.
For 6 oz, the cost is $3.25.
So, the price per ounce is $3.25/6 = $0.54 per ounce.
Now, let's use this price per ounce to find the cost for 12 oz, 26 oz, and 48 oz.
For 12 oz:
Cost = 12 oz * $0.54 per oz = $6.48
For 26 oz:
Cost = 26 oz * $0.54 per oz = $14.04
For 48 oz:
Cost = 48 oz * $0.54 per oz = $25.92
So, the cost for 12 oz, 26 oz, and 48 oz would be $6.48, $14.04, and $25.92 respectively.
Remember, when you have given information, it's important to identify any patterns or relationships that can help you solve the problem. In this case, noticing that the price per ounce remains constant allows us to use proportions to find the costs for different amounts.
