1 Raphael went to the store and bought 25 pounds of chicken for $9.00. At this rate, how much would it cost for 1, 2, and 3 pounds of chicken?

Answer 1

To find the cost for 1 pound of chicken, divide the total cost by the total amount of chicken purchased:

Cost per pound = $9.00 / 25 pounds = $0.36 per pound

Therefore, 1 pound of chicken would cost $0.36.

To find the cost for 2 pounds of chicken, multiply the cost per pound by 2:

Cost for 2 pounds = $0.36 per pound * 2 pounds = $0.72

Therefore, 2 pounds of chicken would cost $0.72.

To find the cost for 3 pounds of chicken, multiply the cost per pound by 3:

Cost for 3 pounds = $0.36 per pound * 3 pounds = $1.08

Therefore, 3 pounds of chicken would cost $1.08.
