Question

Four friends purchase 18.4 pounds of peaches. The peaches cost $1.75 per pound. The friends share the cost of the peaches equally. How do I do this!!!!?????????

Answer 1

You take the cost 18.4 multiply by 1.75 to find out the total cost of the peaches then divide by 4 to split the cast and you answer should be roughly 8

Answer 2

Cost per friend = 8.05 $

Explanation:

Four friends purchase 18.4 pounds of peaches.

The peaches cost $1.75 per pound.

Total cost of peach = Total pounds x Cost of peach per pound

Total cost of peach = 18.4 x 1.75 = 32.2 $

Number of friends dividing the cost equally = 4

`\texttt{Cost per friend = }\frac{\texttt{Total cost of peach}}{\texttt{Number of friends dividing the cost equally}}\\\\\texttt{Cost per friend = }(32.2)/(4)=8.05\$`

Cost per friend = 8.05 $
