Answer 1

To find the cost per pound of ground beef, we can divide the total cost by the number of pounds for each entry in the table. Let's calculate the cost for each row:

1. For 10 pounds:
   Cost per pound = $37.50 / 10 = $3.75

2. For 8 pounds:
   Cost per pound = $30.00 / 8 = $3.75

3. For 6 pounds:
   Cost per pound = $22.50 / 6 = $3.75

4. For 4 pounds:
   Cost per pound = $15.00 / 4 = $3.75

The cost for 1 pound of ground beef is consistently $3.75 across all quantities. Thus, the answer is:

$3.75 per pound.
