Question

If steak costs $12.55 per pound, what will be the total cost of 0.6 pounds of steak?\

Answer 1

Solve for X; whereas lb=pound, $=cost

1lb = $12.55

0.6lb = $X; therefore 6/10 lb = $X

Rewrite:

$12.55/1 lb = $X/6/10 lb; therefore $12.55/1 lb = 10/6(X); 10X=$12.55(6); 10X=$75.30; X=$75.30/10

X=$7.53 for .6 lbs.

Answer 2

7.53
