Answer 2

Cost of of a pound of orange = $0.9

Explanation:

Cost of a gallon of milk = $3.60

Cost of of a pound of orange = $x

Total spent on a gallon of milk and 5/6 of a pound of orange = $4.35

4.35 = 3.60 + 5/6x

4.35 - 3.60 = 5/6x

0.75 = 5/6x

x = 0.75 ÷ 5/6

= 0.75 × 6/5

= 4.5/5

= 0.9

x = $0.9

Cost of of a pound of orange = $0.9
