Question

Ryan buys 3 heads of garlic at $0.50 per head. He also buys 2 pounds of zucchini. If he spends $4.10 on the vegetables, how much did the zucchini cost per pound?

Answer 1

Since Ryan bought 3 heads of garlic and they are 50 cents each, he spent $1.50

$4.10-$1.50 is $2.60.

If he bought 2 pounds of zucchini, you divide $3.60 is $1.80.

$1.80 is the cost of zucchini per pound.
