The price of dried apricots is four dollars for every 2/3 pound what is the price per pound of the dried apricots

1 answer

To find the price per pound of the dried apricots, we need to first determine the price for 1 pound of dried apricots.

Given that the price of dried apricots is four dollars for every 2/3 pound, we can set up a proportion:

4 dollars = (x dollars per pound) * (1 pound / 2/3 pound)

Solving for x, we get:

x = 4 * (3/2) = 6

Therefore, the price per pound of the dried apricots is 6 dollars.
