The store is selling lemons at $0.68 each. Each lemon yields about 2 tablespoons of juice. How much will it cost to buy enough lemons to make two 9-inch lemon pies, each requiring half a cup of lemon juice?

Solution

1 cup = 16 tablespoons

so 2 lemon pies require half cup each

i.e. total lemon juice require = 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 cup = 16 tablespoon

16 tablespoon require = 16/2 = 8 lemon

now price of 8 lemons = 8 x 0.68 = $5.44
