The cost of 4 ounces of the pecans is $2.24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Eliseo pays $8.99 for a one-pound canister of Georgia pecans.

Now, to solve a proportion to determine the cost of 4 ounces of the pecans she needs for a particular recipe.

Let the cost of 4 ounces of the pecans be

1 pound = 16 ounces.

So, using unitary method we get cost of 1 ounces:

Cost of 16 ounces of the pecans = $8.99.

Cost of 1 ounces of the pecans = $8.99 ÷ 16 = $0.56.

According to question we set proportion:

So, to get by cross multiplication method:

By cross multiplying we get:

Thus, the cost of 4 ounces of the pecans is $2.24.

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
