To find the cost per pound of ground beef, you can take the total cost for a specific weight and divide it by the number of pounds.
Using one of the provided data points, for instance, the 10-pound purchase:
Cost for 10 pounds: $37.50
Cost per pound = Total cost / Number of pounds
Cost per pound = $37.50 / 10 = $3.75
You can do this for each of the weights:
- For 8 pounds: $30.00 / 8 = $3.75
- For 6 pounds: $22.50 / 6 = $3.75
- For 4 pounds: $15.00 / 4 = $3.75
In all cases, the cost for 1 pound of ground beef is $3.75.
