Answer 1

Answer: The lunch meat cost $7.25 per pound

Explanation:

To find the cost of the lunch meat per pound, we need to subtract the amount spent on apples and crackers from the total amount spent on groceries.

Lani spent $5.25 on apples and $3.25 on a box of crackers, so the total amount spent on apples and crackers is $5.25 + $3.25 = $8.50.

To find the cost of the lunch meat, we subtract the amount spent on apples and crackers from the total amount spent on groceries:

$30.25 - $8.50 = $21.75

Now we know that Lani spent $21.75 on 3 pounds of lunch meat. To find the cost per pound, we divide the total amount spent on lunch meat by the number of pounds:

$21.75 / 3 = $7.25

Therefore, the lunch meat cost $7.25 per pound.
