Sandra bought 5 pounds of sweet potatoes for $7.20. What is the cost per pound of the sweet potatoes?

Answer 1

To find the cost per pound of the sweet potatoes, you can divide the total cost by the total weight.

The total cost Sandra paid is $7.20, and the total weight is 5 pounds.

Cost per pound = Total cost / Total weight
Cost per pound = $7.20 / 5 pounds
Cost per pound = $1.44

Therefore, the cost per pound of the sweet potatoes is $1.44.
