Problema Solution
At a supermarket, pineapple juice sells at $1 per pint (16 oz.) Greg wants to buy eigthteen 40-ounce cans of pineapple juice from the supermarket. How much does he have to pay altogether?
Answer provided by our tutors
eighteen 40-ounce cans of pineapple juice is:
18*40 = 720 oz of juice
since
1 pint = 16 oz
1 oz = 1/16 pints
we have
720 oz = 720/16 pints = 45 pints
pineapple juice sells at $1 per pint thus 45 pints will cost $45.
Greg has to pay $45 for the pineapple juice.
