The store is selling lemons at $0.65 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. How much
will it cost to buy enough lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon
juice?

Answer 1

The cost of buying lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies is $5.20.

What is the total cost?

The first step is to convert cup to tablespoons

1 cup = 16 tablespoons

one 9-inch lemon pie would require 8 tablespoons (16 /2)

two  9-inch lemon pie would require 16 tablespoons (8 x 2)

The second step is to determine how much lemons would be needed.

Lemons needed = table spoons needed / table spoon one lemon would yield

16 / 2 = 8 lemons

The total cost of lemons needs to make the pies = cost of one lemon x number of lemons needed

8 x 0.65 = $5.20
