Yoko bought 20 pounds of rice for $8.

Question

How many dollars did she pay per pound of rice?

Answer 1

To find out how many dollars Yoko paid per pound of rice, you divide the total cost by the number of pounds.

Total cost = $8
Number of pounds = 20

Cost per pound = Total cost / Number of pounds
Cost per pound = $8 / 20 = $0.40

Yoko paid $0.40 per pound of rice.
