To determine the price of a box of generic cereal in dollars, you can set up the following equation:
Let x be the price of a box of generic cereal.
1.5x = 3.60
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 1.5:
x = 3.60 / 1.5
x = 2.40
Therefore, the price of a box of generic cereal is 2.40 dollars.
