Step 1
Given;
[tex]3\text{ pints of raspberries = \$12}[/tex]Required; To find the cost per pint and how many pints you get per dollar.
Step 2
Find the cost per pint using the ratio below
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3\text{ pints of raspberries}}{1\text{ pint of raspberries}}=\frac{\text{\$}12}{\text{\$}x} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]where;
[tex]\text{\$x=cost per pint}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} 3x=12 \\ \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12}{3} \\ x=\text{\$}4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Step 2
Find how many pints you get per dollar.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1\text{ pint of raspberries}}{x\text{ pints of raspberries}}=\frac{\text{\$}4}{\text{\$}1} \\ 1=4x \\ \frac{4x}{4}=\frac{1}{4} \\ x=0.25\text{ pints of raspberries } \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, you will get 0.25 pints of raspberries per dollar
