Question

⦁ A store spent $263.50 on 50 lb of bulk goods. What is the price per pound, in dollars, of the bulk goods?

Answer 1

To find the price per pound, divide the total amount spent by the pounds of bulk goods bought.

Your equation would look like: 263.50/50 = x, where x is the price per lb of the bulk goods

Solve by dividing 263.50 by 50

x = 263.50/50

x = 5.27

The price per pound (dollars) of the bulk goods is $5.27.

Answer 2

$263.50 were spent on 50 pounds of bulk goods.

Divide 50 from 263.50

263.50/50 = 5.27

The price per pound of bulk goods is $5.27
