Lanny buys groceries at the store for $30.25. He spent $5.25 on apples $3.25 on a box of crackers and the rest on 3 pounds of lunchmeat. How much did the lunch meat cost in dollars per pound.

Answer 1

Lanny spent $5.25 + $3.25 = $<<5.25+3.25=8.50>>8.50 on apples and crackers.
He spent $30.25 - $8.50 = $<<30.25-8.5=21.75>>21.75 on lunchmeat.
Therefore, the cost of the lunchmeat per pound is $21.75 / 3 = $<<21.75/3=7.25>>7.25. Answer: \boxed{7.25}.
