If 7 pints of juice for $2.75, how many pints of juice will you get for $7.25?

1 answer

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of pints of juice:

7 pints / $2.75 = x pints / $7.25

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:

7 pints * $7.25 = $2.75 * x pints

$50.75 = $2.75x

x = $50.75 / $2.75

x = 18.5 pints

Therefore, you can get 18.5 pints of juice for $7.25. However, since you cannot buy a fraction of a pint, you would need to round down to 18 pints.
