At Carl's deli, cheese is on sale for $11.50 for 1 kilogram. How much would it cost to purchase 150 grams of cheese?

Question

How much would it cost to purchase 1 gram of cheese? 50 grams?

Answer 1

1 kg = 1000 g

 

Therefore, if cheese costs $11.50 for 1000 g, then the price per gram is:

 

11.50/1000= .01 or 1 cent per gram

 

Therefore, 150 g of cheese would cost 150 * .01 = $1.50
