Fruit for a dessert costs $1.20 a pound. If 5 pounds of fruit are needed to make a dessert that serves 18 people, what is the cost of the fruit needed to make enough of the same dessert to serve 24 people?
$8.00. If 5 pounds of fruit serve 18 people, then 5/18 pound serves one person, so 24 x 5/18 = 20/3 pounds. Since the fruit costs $1.20 a pound, the cost of the fruit needed to serve 24 people is 20/3 x $1.20 = $8.00.
