Calvin is making a special cocktail for 124 guests. Each cocktail calls for 0.5 fluid ounces of Becherovka, which is purchased in 750-milliliter bottles. Due to the nature of the event, Calvin expects that each guest will have approximately 6 cocktails. If Becherovka comes in 12 bottles to a case, and each case costs $189.43, what is the beverage cost per guest?

9514 1404 393

  $1.87 per guest for quantity used

  $1.91 per guest for whole bottles used

  $3.06 per guest for whole cases used

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the beverage is ...

  ($189.43/case)(1 case/(12 bottles))(1 bottle/(750 mL)) = $0.02104777.../mL

Each guest consumes 6 cocktails of 0.5 floz each, so ...

  (6 drinks/gues)(0.5 floz/drink)(29.5735295625 mL/floz) ≈ 88.7205 mL/guest

Then the cost per guest is ...

  ($0.02104777.../mL)(88.7205 mL/guest) ≈ $1.86737/guest

The cost per guest for the amount used is about $1.87.

__

The total amount of drink used for all guests is ...

  124(88.7205 mL/guest) ≈ 11,001.4 mL

At 750 mL per bottle, this is ...

  (11,001.4 mL)/(750 mL/bottle) ≈ 14.7 bottles

If you're constrained to pay for 15 bottles, then the cost per guest is ...

  $189.43(15/12)/124 = $1.91 per guest

__

At 12 bottles per case, this is ...

  (14.7 bottles)/(12 bottles/case) ≈ 1.2 cases

If you're constrained to pay for 2 cases, then the cost per guest is ...

  $189.43(2)/124 = $3.06 per guest

step-by-step explanation:

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
