In a grocery store’s circular, it states that plant-based meatless ground beef is on sale for $5.99/lb. If you buy a package that weighs 2.37 lbs, how much did it cost (round to the nearest cent)?

$5.99 divided by 100 = 0.0599

0.0599 x 237 = $14.19

This package would cost $14:20

Explanation: You simply multiply the cost and the weight so 5.99*2.37 which equals 14.1963 and you round to the hundredth place being 9 since the number behind nine is 6 you round up making the cost 14.20
