amistre64 · Answer

you would need to convert them to a standard, uniform format

anonymous · Answer

idk how to do that though thats what im saying

amistre64 · Answer

for B and C, just divide off the left side to find a 1 oz price

for A you would have to recall how to convert pints to oz

amistre64 · Answer

since 40/8 = 5
         39/8 will be just ever so slightly less

and 30/6 = 5

so B is looking to be better than C at the moment

but i cant recall any pint to oz conversions to determine what A compares to

anonymous · Answer

okay well i appriciate you trying to help

amistre64 · Answer

if you find a nice conversion ratio :)  say 2 pts = 16 oz

then just divide the price of A by 16 (or whatever the conversion is) to see what a unit price per oz would amount to is all

i hate to bother you again but is there any way you would know this questions? Xian saw a blouse that costs $37.89, including tax. The cost of materials to make the blouse is $20.98, plus tax. The tax on all the materials that she needs is 8.25%. About how much will she save if she makes the blouse?
