Question

A fruit stand sells 8-ounce containers of blueberries for $4.00. If y represents the cost of x ounces of blueberries, which equation correctly models this proportional relationship?
y = 0.2 x
y = 0.5 x
y = 2 x
y = 4bx

Answer 1

y = 0.5x

Reason: $4 for 8 oz → unit price = 4/8 = $0.50 per ounce, so cost y = 0.5 × (ounces x).
