Question

A​ 0.8-liter bottle of Mexican wine costs 101 pesos. At that​price, how much would a​ half-gallon jug of the same wine cost in​dollars?

Answer 1

Answer:

$12.18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of 0.8 liter bottle of Mexican wine = 101 pesos

or

cost of 1 liter bottle of Mexican wine = $\frac{\textup{101}}{\textup{0.8}}$ pesos

Now,

1 Mexican pesos = 0.051 dollars

thus,

cost of 1 liter bottle of Mexican wine = $\frac{\textup{101}}{\textup{0.8}}\times0.051$ dollars

also,

1 gallon = 3.78541 Liter

Thus,

half gallon = $\frac{\textup{3.78541}}{\textup{2}}$  = 1.892705 Liters

therefore,

cost of half gallon jug =  $\frac{\textup{101}}{\textup{0.8}}\times0.051\times1.892705$ dollars

or

cost of half gallon jug of wine = $12.18
