To determine which scenario represents an equivalent price for granola, we first need to find the price per cup based on the given information.
The grocery store advertises that 15 cups of granola cost $6.75.
To find the price per cup:
- Divide the total cost by the number of cups: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{6.75}{15} = 0.45 \] So, the price per cup is $0.45.
Now, let's check each option to see if they have the same price per cup:
-
8 cups for $3.60: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{3.60}{8} = 0.45 \] This is equivalent.
-
5 cups for $2.45: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{2.45}{5} = 0.49 \] This is not equivalent.
-
10 cups for $4.05: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{4.05}{10} = 0.405 \] This is not equivalent.
-
25 cups for $11.75: \[ \text{Price per cup} = \frac{11.75}{25} = 0.47 \] This is not equivalent.
The scenario that represents an equivalent price for the granola is:
8 cups for $3.60.
