You go to the store and buy 3 pounds of beef for $15.75. What does it cost per pound?

Answer 1

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

The total cost is $15.75 and the weight is 3 pounds.

Cost per pound = Total cost / Total weight
Cost per pound = $15.75 / 3 = $5.25

So, the cost per pound of beef is $5.25.
