Answer:

8 pounds

Explanation:

"purchased 3 pounds of mac and cheese for $7.50"

You would make this into an equation to figure out the price of one pound of mac and cheese (x):

7.50=3x

x=2.5

Next, you can create an equation to represent the price per pound.

Total price = 2.5(number of pounds)

Now, plug in the information you have:

20 = 2.5x

8=x
