Apples cost $2.75 per pound. Jenna paid a total of $11 for apples.
How many pounds of apples did Jenna buy?

Answer 1

4 pound.

Explanation:

Each apple costs: 2.75 dollars

Jenna paid: 11 dollars

Let the no. of apples be x

Then,Cost of x apples: 2.75*x dollars

Since we have to find apples Jenna bought, we equal it to 11 dollars.

• 2.75*x = 11
• x = 11/2.75
• x = 4[Divide both side by 2.75]

Hence Jenna bought 4 pound apples.
