It costs 19.36 for 2.8 pounds of shrimp.

Question

Find the unit price in dollars per pound.
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

To find the unit price in dollars per pound, you can divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds.

Given:

• Total cost = $19.36
• Total weight = 2.8 pounds

Unit price = Total cost / Total weight

\[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{19.36}{2.8} \]

Calculating the unit price:

\[ \text{Unit price} = 6.9 \]

Thus, the unit price is $6.90 per pound.
