Please Help A Parent Answer this 4th Grade Question..?

Question

Use the following recipe when answer the question...

Citrus Punch

750 mL orange juice
250 mL grapefruit juice
600 mL lemonade
400 mL limeade
2L lemon lime soda

How much will each 250 mL serving cost if the ingredients in the recipe cost a total of $5.60?

There is NO profit. Please keep this basic so that my daughter can understand it once it is written out. Thanks

Would adding them all together be correct since the lemon lime soda is not in mL? All of the ingreditients say mL except the lemon lime soda says L?

Answer 1

First you need to add all of the quantities together. There are 1000 ml in 1 L. So your total comes to 4L. Now you know that there will be 16 servings since 250 ml goes 16 times into 4L. So you take the total price of $5.60 and divide it by 16 for each serving. This gives you a $.35 or 35 cents.

Answer 2

Here you go...
Assuming you are making no profit then you have to add the total volume of the drink [750+250+600+400+2000] and divide it by 250 ml so...

(750+250+600+400+2000)/250=16

So there are 16 parts that add up to $5.60 so...

5.60/16=35

The units is cents. So the answer is $.35 a serving.
once again this is assuming no profit.


Edit:
This is to reference your last edit.
You can add them all together because 1 L is equal to 1000 mL.

Answer 3

The ingredients add up to 4L or 4000 mL. Divide by 250 mL and you get 16 servings. $5.60 divided by 16 servings equals $0.35 or 35 cents per serving.

Answer 4

First add all the volumes of the recipes ingridients

750 + 250 +600+400+2000 = 4000ml

4000ml = $5.60
250ml = $x
Thus x = $0.35

i think thats how to solve it..gud luck..=)

Answer 5

Total Milliliters = 4000mL
(you have to convert 2L to 2000 mL)

5.60/4000 = .0014/mL

250 * .0014 = .35 per 250 mL serving

Answer 6

I'm going to give it a go at 0.35 cents each 250 ml

Answer 7

1000ml = 1L
750+250+600+400=2000mL +2L= 4 liters or 6000ml divided by 250ml =24. $ 5.60 divided by 24=$.2333 each 250 ml serving.

somebody tell me please if this is right or not. I f I were you, I think I'd hire a tutor for the whole family.

Answer 8

$.35
