Problem
44. The price of milk is increasing by 9 cents per week. If the price is \( \$ 2.99 \) per gallon today, what will milk cost in six weeks? (a) \( \$ 3.52 \) (b) \( \$ 3.53 \) (c) \( \$ 5.01 \) (d) \( \$ 15.05 \)
Solution
Step 1 ：Step 1: Calculate the total increase in price: 9 cents * 6 weeks = \(54\) cents
Step 2 ：Step 2: Convert cents to dollars: \(54\) cents = \($0.54\)
Step 3 ：Step 3: Add the increase to the current price: \($2.99 + $0.54 = $3.53\)
