can you please solve it and explain me . thank you.
I would just use a simple ratio ...
x/9 = .8/16
x = 7.2/16 = $.45
check:
9 ounces = 9/16 of a pound
(9/16)(.8) = .45
(cheese at 80 cents per pound?? where? )
x/9 = .8/16
x = 7.2/16 = $.45
check:
9 ounces = 9/16 of a pound
(9/16)(.8) = .45
(cheese at 80 cents per pound?? where? )
thank you so much
