Question

A shopper pays $3.95 for 5 pounds of potatoes. What is the price per pound for potatoes

Answer 1

To find the price per pound for the potatoes, you can divide the total cost by the total weight.

The total cost is $3.95, and the total weight is 5 pounds.

Price per pound = Total cost / Total weight

\[
\text{Price per pound} = \frac{3.95}{5} = 0.79
\]

So, the price per pound for potatoes is $0.79.
