Question

At the store deli, Rita spent $13.45 on 5 pounds of cheese.

How much would it cost to buy 2 pounds of cheese?

Answer 1

$5.38

Explanation:

$13.45 / 5 (To find the value of 1 pound of cheese, Total money spent divided by total pound of cheese bought)

$2.69 (1 pound of cheese will cost)

So, $2.69 x 2 (Multiply by 2 to find how much 2 pound of cheese will cost)

$5.38
