To determine how much Camillo will spend on 2,400 oz of jelly, we first need to find the cost per ounce and then calculate the total cost for 2,400 oz.
-
Find the cost per ounce:
-
Camillo knows that 48 oz costs $3.84.
-
To find the cost per ounce, we calculate: \[ \text{Cost per ounce} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total ounces}} = \frac{3.84}{48} \]
-
Performing the division: \[ \frac{3.84}{48} = 0.08 \text{ (or 8 cents per ounce)} \]
-
-
Calculate the total cost for 2,400 oz:
-
Now that we know the cost per ounce is $0.08, we can find the total cost for 2,400 oz using the formula: \[ \text{Total cost} = \text{Cost per ounce} \times \text{Total ounces} \]
-
Substituting the values: \[ \text{Total cost} = 0.08 \times 2400 \]
-
Performing the multiplication: \[ 0.08 \times 2400 = 192 \]
-
So, Camillo will spend $192 on jelly.
