Answer 1

Explanation:

10x196 x9= 295392

Answer 2

Durain beans cost $9 per pound and they sold 11 pounds.

Multiply the cost by the amount sold: 9 x 11 = $99

Subtract that from the total sold:

196 - 99 = $97

Now divide the amount left by the cost per pound for Ice cream beans:

97 / 10 = 9.7 pounds.
