Answer 1

To find out how much the lunch meat cost per pound, subtract the cost of the crackers from the total amount spent on groceries: $30.25 - $5.24 = $25.01.

Next, divide the cost of the lunch meat by the weight of the lunch meat: $25.01 / 3 pounds = $8.34 per pound.

Therefore, the lunch meat cost $8.34 per pound.
