Question

It is $8.09 for 4 pints, so how many dollars per pint? Round ur answers to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

Let be "x" the amount of money (in dollars) per pint.

According to the information given in the exercise, the cost of 4 pints is $8.09.

Therefore, you only need to divide $8.09 by 4 in order to find the value of "x".

Then, applying the procedure explained above, you get the following result:

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{8.09\text{ }dollars}{4} \\ \\ x=2.0225\text{ }dollars \end{gathered}$

To round to the nearest hundredth, you need to look at the digit on the left of the place value you are rounding to (in this case, the first digit 2 is in the Hundredths place). Since the next value is less than 5, you must round down. Therefore, you get:

$x\approx2.02\text{ }dollars$

Therefore, the answer is: $2.02 per pint.
