A 10-ounce box of cereal cost $3. A 20-ounce box of the same cereal cost $5. A third box of the same cereal costs $8.

Write a linear equation that expresses the price of a box of cereal as a function of the number of ounces of cereal in the box.

Calculate the number of ounces of cereal in the third box.

The number of ounces of cereal in the third box is 32.

Explanation:

Given-

10 oy box = $3

Price of 1 ounce box = $3/10

                                  = $0.3

20 oy box = $5

Price of 1 oy box = $5/20

                            = $0.25

Therefore, it is beneficial to buy a 20 oy box as it is comparatively cheaper than the 10 oy box.

Third box of cereal = $8

$5 is the price of 20 oy box

$8 will be the price of x oy box

So,

Therefore, the number of ounces of cereal in the third box is 32.
