Question

inez made 12 cups of taco salad. she separates the salad into 3/4 cup servings. she sells the servings for $1.75 each. if she sells all the servings, how much money will she make?

Answer 1

Hi, Jennifer.

 

Okay, so you need to figure out how many 3/4 cup servings she can make out of 12 cups.

 

12 ÷ 3/4 = 12 x 4/3 = 48/3 = 16 servings

 

Now, if she charges $1.75 each,

 

16 x 1.75 = $28.00

 

She will make $28.00
