The store is selling lemons at $0.53 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?
Two pies, requiring half a cup each, equals 1 cup of juice is needed.
My Betty Crocker cookbook says there are 16 tablespoons in 1 cup.
At 2 tbsp per lemon, you will have to buy 16 / 2 lemons = 8 lemons.
8 lemons • 0.53 $ / lemon = $ 4.24
plus sales tax, if applicable
