Mya and her three friends bought 7 1/5 pounds of cherry sours at 1.30 per pound. If the cost of cherry sours id divided evenly among the 4 friends, how much will each person pay

Answer 1

Answer: Each person will pay $2.34.

Explanation:

Given: Cost of one pound of cherries = $1.30

Cost of
`7\frac15` pounds of cherries =
`7\frac15* 1.30`

`=(36)/(5)*1.30`

= $9.36

Each person will pay = (Cost of
`7\frac15` pounds ) ÷ 4

`=9.36/4`

=$2.34

Hence, Each person will pay $2.34.
