Answer 1

To determine which scenario represents an equivalent price for granola, we first need to find the price per cup from the original advertisement.

The grocery store advertises that 15 cups of granola cost $6.75. We can calculate the price per cup as follows:

\[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Number of cups}} = \frac{6.75}{15} = 0.45 \]

So, the price per cup is $0.45.

Now, let's check the equivalent price for each of the options:

1. 8 cups for $3.60: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{3.60}{8} = 0.45 \] (Equivalent)

2. 8 cups for $3.60: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{3.60}{8} = 0.45 \] (Equivalent)

3. 10 cups for $4.05: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{4.05}{10} = 0.405 \] (Not Equivalent)

4. 10 cups for $4.05: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{4.05}{10} = 0.405 \] (Not Equivalent)

5. 25 cups for $11.75: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{11.75}{25} = 0.47 \] (Not Equivalent)

6. 25 cups for $11.75: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{11.75}{25} = 0.47 \] (Not Equivalent)

7. 5 cups for $2.45: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{2.45}{5} = 0.49 \] (Not Equivalent)

8. 5 cups for $2.45: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{2.45}{5} = 0.49 \] (Not Equivalent)

From the calculations, the equivalent price scenario is:

8 cups for $3.60.
