Question

A store has apples on sale for $7.00 for 2 pounds. If an apple is approximately 5 ounces, how many apples can you buy for $28.00? Complete the explanation.

Answer 1

Approx 24 apples.

Explanation:

So, you have $28. 1st find out how much a lb. of apples cost. So divide 7/2 to get $3.50. A pound of apples cost $3.50. After that divide 16oz(1 lb) by 5 oz. to get 3.2. So you can get approx 3 apples for the price of $3.50. With $7 you get 6 apples. For 2 more pounds, that'd be 12 with only $14 spent. For another 2 that'd be 18 with $21 spent. For another 2 that'd be 24 with $28 spent.
