Question

Jacob bought 5. 5 pounds of jelly beans for $14. 74. How much would 7. 25 pounds of jelly beans cost, to the nearest cent?.

Answer 1

$19.43

Explanation:

when 5.5 pounds cost $14.74 then 1 pound costs $2.68
because 14.74 divided by 5.5 equals 2.68
To calculate the price of 7.25 you multiply the price for 1 pund by 7.25
7.25 * 2.68 = 19.43
