A 12 oz bottle of shampoo last 16 weeks. How long would you expect an 18 oz bottle to last

1 answer:

3 0

If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.

Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:

12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24

It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, do you mean what is the final charge? If so, then look at my next steps

If you mean the final charge then first multiply 10% by 360 , basically 10/100 multiplied by $360 which is equals to $36. Since it is interest, add $36 to $360. The answer will be $396. Then you add on the $19 which would bring the total to $415.
