Answer 1

12.8

Explanation:

Its proportions: 1 pound equals 3.20, 4 poundes equals x.

3.20 (cost per pound) x 4 (how many pounds) = 12.8 (answer)

Answer 2

$12.80

Explanation:

Sara bought 4 pounds of coffee.

Each pound (lb) costs $3.20

To find the total cost, multiply the cost per pound ($3.20) with the amount of pounds Sara is going to buy (4):

4 x 3.20 = $12.80

$12.80 would be the total cost before tax.
