Answer 10

i have to wre write a formula i have no idea what to do cause my answer you have to divide in but i cant thats why i need help

Answer 11

It's $7.99/1500, whatever that works out to be. About 1/2 a cent per gram.

What do you mean, you can't divide? Look at your keyboard, isn't there a key at the bottom right with a "/" and "?" printed on it?

Answer 12

yes but if the answer dont need it it will tell u that

Answer 13

well, no matter. every division problem can be rewritten as a multiplication problem. You can multiply in your answer, right?

Answer 14

I don't see anything in your problem statement about not needing division. Is there anything else you haven't mentioned?

Answer 15

i got it now nvm

Answer 16

\[\text{unit price} = \frac{\text{total cost}}{\text{number of units}}\]\[\text{total cost} = \text{unit price}*\text{number of units}\]

unit price is price per gram
number of units is grams per carton
