Question

Franco bought 1.5 pounds of deli cheese for six dollars and seventy-five cents. If he went back for another 2 pounds of the same cheese, how much could Franco expect to pay?

Answer 1

1.5 * X = 6.25

1.5/1.5 * X = 6.25/1.25

X = 5

deli cheese is $5 a pound
$5.00 * 2 pounds = $ 10.00

Franco would pay $10.00 for 2 more pounds of cheese
