Answer 1

$6\ ounce\ bag\ cost\ 3,60\ \\ 2\ ounce\ bag \ cost\ x\\\\ From\ proportion:\\ 6-3,60\\ 2-x\\\\ Cross\ multiplication\\ 6x=3,60*2\\ 6x=7,2\ \ | divide\ by\ 6\\x=1,2\ \\\\ 2\ ounce\ bag\ costs\ 1,2\ .$

Answer 2

Answer: Cost of two-ounce bags is $1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bags of mixed nuts =6 ounce

Cost of bag =$3.60

We'll use the unitary method,

$\text{ Cost of 6 ounce bags}=\ 3.60\\\\\text{ Cost of 1 ounce bag}=\frac{3.60}{6}=\ 0.6\\\\\text{ Cost of 2 ounce bags}=0.6\times 2=\ 1.2$

Hence, cost of two-ounce bags is $1.2
