Question

At the store deli, you spent $13.45 on 5 pounds of cheese. How much would it cost to buy 2 pounds of cheese?

Answer 1

It would be $5.38. Divide $13.45 by 5. That gives you the price per serving. Then double that for 2 servings.

Answer 2

13.45 divided by 5 = 2.69. 2.69x 2 = 5.38. so it would cost 5.38 for 2 pounds.
