A grocery store advertises that 15 cups of granola cost $6.75. Which scenario represents an equivalent price?(1 point) Responses 5 cups for $2.45 5 cups for $2.45 8 cups for $3.60 8 cups for $3.60 10 cups for $4.05 10 cups for $4.05 25 cups for $11.75

Answer 1

To find the equivalent price for the granola, we first determine the price per cup from the original advertisement.

The grocery store advertises that 15 cups of granola cost $6.75. Therefore, the price per cup can be calculated as follows:

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

So, the price per cup is $0.45.

Now let's evaluate the price per cup for each scenario to see which one matches $0.45.

1. 5 cups for $2.45: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{2.45}{5} = 0.49 \]

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

3. 10 cups for $4.05: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{4.05}{10} = 0.405 \]

4. 25 cups for $11.75: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{11.75}{25} = 0.47 \]

The only scenario that represents an equivalent price at $0.45 per cup is 8 cups for $3.60.
