Raphel went to the store and bought 2 1/2 pounds of chicken for $9.00. At this rate, how much would it cost for 1,2, and 3 pounds of chicken

Answer 1

To find out how much it would cost for 1 pound of chicken, we need to divide the total cost by the total weight purchased:

Cost for 1 pound of chicken = $9.00 / 2.5 pounds = $3.60

Therefore, 1 pound of chicken would cost $3.60.

Similarly, to find out how much it would cost for 2 pounds of chicken:

Cost for 2 pounds of chicken = $3.60 x 2 = $7.20

Therefore, 2 pounds of chicken would cost $7.20.

And for 3 pounds of chicken:

Cost for 3 pounds of chicken = $3.60 x 3 = $10.80

Therefore, 3 pounds of chicken would cost $10.80.
