Coconut juice= 2kg = 1kg

x $5

(2kg)($5)=(x)(1 kg)

(2kg)($5)/1kg=(x)(1 kg)/1kg

$10 for Coconut juice 2 kg

Coconut milk

$3 = x

1kg 8kg

($3)(8kg)=(x)(1kg)

($3)(8kg)/1kg=(x)(1kg)/1kg

($3)(8kg)/1kg=x

$24 =x (coconut milk)

Total volume of mixed =2 kg (juice) +8kg (milk)=10kg

Total cost =$10 (juice) + $24(milk)=$34

Cost /kg=$34/10kg=$3.40/kg
