Question

Preston adopted a cat from a rescue shelter. He needs to buy some cat litter, so he compares prices at different stores. He finds the best deal at Fluffy Felines Pet Shop, which sells a 20-pound jug of cat litter for $8.60. How much does the cat litter cost per pound?

Answer 1

To find out how much the cat litter costs per pound, divide the total cost of the 20-pound jug by the weight of the jug, like this: 8.60 / 20 = $<<8.60/20=0.43>>0.43. Answer: \boxed{0.43}.
