Question

If 3 pounds of butter cost $5.34, what is the price per pound?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the price per pound of butter.

To do this, we have to divide the total cost of the butter by the total weight of the butter. That is:

`\begin{gathered} (\$5.34)/(3) \\ \\ \$1.78\text{ per pound} \end{gathered}`

That is the price per pound of butter.
