To find which scenario represents an equivalent price for granola, we first determine the price per cup based on the grocery store's advertisement.
The store sells 15 cups of granola for $6.75.
- Calculate the price per cup: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Number of cups}} = \frac{6.75}{15} = 0.45 \] This means each cup costs $0.45.
Now, we can check the price per cup for each of the other scenarios:
-
5 cups for $2.45: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{2.45}{5} = 0.49 \]
-
10 cups for $4.05: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{4.05}{10} = 0.405 \]
-
25 cups for $11.75: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{11.75}{25} = 0.47 \]
-
8 cups for $3.60: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{3.60}{8} = 0.45 \]
Now, we compare the price per cup for each scenario with the original price of $0.45:
- 5 cups for $2.45: $0.49 (not equivalent)
- 10 cups for $4.05: $0.405 (not equivalent)
- 25 cups for $11.75: $0.47 (not equivalent)
- 8 cups for $3.60: $0.45 (equivalent)
Therefore, the scenario that represents an equivalent price is 8 cups for $3.60.
