At a local produce market, 3⁄4 of a pint of fresh lemon juice costs $7.65. How much does one pint cost? A. $5.74 B. $11.48 C. $10.20 D. $13.39

Respuesta :

First to find the cost of the pint take note 3/4 of a pint cost $7.65.

So we will divide 7.65 by 3 to find how much 1/4 of a pint cost

7.65/3= 2.55

Now multiply 2.55 by 4

2.55 x 4= 10.2

So a pint of LJ will cost C. $10.20


Answer:

The correct option is:  C. $10.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, the cost of one pint of lemon juice [tex]=x \ dollar[/tex]

So, the cost of [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pint of lemon juice [tex]=\frac{3}{4}x\ dollar[/tex]

Given that, [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] of a pint of fresh lemon juice costs $7.65

So, the equation will be......

[tex]\frac{3}{4}x=7.65\\ \\ 4(\frac{3}{4}x)=4(7.65)\\ \\ 3x=30.60\\ \\ x=\frac{30.60}{3}=10.20[/tex]

Thus, the cost of one pint of lemon juice is $10.20
