Question

Arthur paid $0.84 for 0.25 pounds of potato salad. How much does one pound cost?

Answer 1

$3.36

Explanation:

So,

0.25 of one pound is the same as 25 percent of 1 pound. 25 percent goes into 100 percent 4 times. Therefore, if we multiply 4 by the price per 25 percent, we should get the answer.

1 lb divided by .25 is 4

4 x .84 (Unit cost for every .25)

3.36

Answer 2

3.36

Explanation:

.84 * 4

3.36
