Question

Vani went to the store to buy some chicken. The price per pound of the

chicken is $3.50 per pound and she has a coupon for $3.25 off the final
amount. With the coupon, how much would Vani have to pay to buy 3 pounds
of chicken? Also, write an expression for the cost to buy p pounds of chicken,
assuming at least one pound is purchased.


PLEASE PROVIDE THE AMOUNT FOR P AND FOR 3 POUNDS

Answer 1

The cost is the cost per pound times the number of pounds minus the coupon.

If
`p` pounds are purchased, she will pay
`3.50p-3.25`.

If 3 pounds are purchased, she will pay 3.50(3)-3.25=7.25.
