Question

Barb purchased a loaf of bread for $2 and p pounds of sliced gam at $5 per pound for a total of 13.25. The relationship between what she purchased and her total purchase price is represented by the equation 5p + 2 = 13.25. What was the total number of pounds of ham that Barb purchased?

Answer 1

The first one 100%

You have to plug in each option for the p

Answer 2

The answer is 2.25 because the total was 13.25 and it is asking you how much he paid for the ham. So you would first subtract 2 from 13.25 which gives you 11.25 and then divide by 5 and it will give you the answer which is 2.25
