Math Problem Statement
If 3 limes sell for $0.57, how much will 8 limes cost?
Solution
To solve this, we first find the cost per lime by dividing the total cost of 3 limes by 3:
So, the cost per lime is $0.19. Now, to find the cost of 8 limes, we multiply the cost per lime by 8:
Therefore, 8 limes will cost $1.52.
