At rancho market, a 16-ounce bag of tortilla chips
sells for $2.88. what should be the price of a
24-ounce bag of tortilla chips so that its unit price is
the same as the unit price of the 16-ounce bag?

The Answer is: $4.32 for a 24 ounce bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to solve this is by cross multiplying after setting up a ratio:

2.88 / 16 = x / 24

16x = 2.88 * 24

x = (2.88 * 24)/16 = 69.12 / 16 = $4.32

Another way is to get the cost per ounce and multiply:

2.88 / 16 = .18 per ounce.

24 ounces * .18 = $4.32
