Question 1071801: One packet of wholegrain chips costs $3.25.
How much is that in dollars per 100 grams (g), to the nearest cent?
(The stimuli is a picture of the back of a packet of wholegrain chips that is 175g.)
I am not sure how to work this one out and need help with the process and also the answer if possible.
Thankyou very much.

%283.25%2F175%29%28dollars%2Fgrams%29=%28v%2F100%29%28dollars%2Fgrams%29

3.25%2F175=v%2F100

v=3.25%2A100%2F175

v=325%2F175=%2813%2A25%29%2F%287%2A25%29=13%2F7



$1.86 per one hundred grams
