Question 605786: I have a 1000g container of a mixture. The container costs $98.95. We administer 1 1/2 scoops per day. Each scoop is 39 grams. How much does one gram cost. How much does each daily dosage cost? Answer by mathie123(224) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This one is tricky at first (once you see the trick though its pretty similar)
I will help with some of it, and leave the rest to you:
We can make a ratio to figure out how much one gram costs:
Similarily for the second part we can make a ratio with the price of a daily dosage (call this x) in the numerator and the number of grams of the daily dosage (be careful when you find this-- it is NOT 39) and the same RHS of the above equation. and then from there just solve for x.
See if you can do it from here if not let me know:)
