Q. Mariana buys 3 bottles of pineapple juice at the corner store for a total cost of $3.27. If each bottle costs the same amount, how much is 19 bottles of juice?
Find Cost Per Bottle: First, we need to find the cost of one bottle of pineapple juice by dividing the total cost for 3 bottles by the number of bottles.
Calculate Total Cost: Next, we multiply the cost of one bottle by the number of bottles Mariana wants to buy, which is 19 bottles.
Verify Calculation: Finally, we check the calculation for any mathematical errors. Multiplying 1.09 by 19 should give us a correct result if we have done the multiplication correctly.
