a 2-gallon container of window cleaner costs $15.67. What is the price per cup?

1 answer

To find the price per cup for the 2-gallon container of window cleaner, we need to do the following steps:

  1. Convert gallons to cups. There are 16 cups in a gallon.

    So, for 2 gallons: \[ 2 \text{ gallons} \times 16 \text{ cups/gallon} = 32 \text{ cups} \]

  2. Now, divide the total cost by the number of cups to find the price per cup: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{15.67}{32} \]

  3. Now calculate that: \[ \frac{15.67}{32} \approx 0.4903 \]

Thus, the price per cup is approximately $0.49.
