<p>Not in the thread so I feel like a real idiot, but it is my first one since I prepped for June.</p>

<p>Page 718 #8</p>

<p>The price of ground coffee beans is d dollars for 8 ounces and each makes c cups of brewed coffee. In terms of c and d, what is the dollar cost of the ground coffee beans required to make 1 cup of brewed coffee?</p>

<p>Thanks I sort of get it but I need to learn this type of problem. Any advice.</p>

<p>Assuming the question reads '...and each OUNCE makes c cups of brewed coffee', here's one approach:</p>

<p>Price per oz of ground coffee = d/8 or 0.125d (in $ per ounce)</p>

<p>Each oz of ground coffee makes c cups of brewed coffee, so
Price per cup of brewed coffee = (Price per oz of ground coffee) / c
= 0.125 (d/c)</p>
