Answer:

$3.90 was the cost of salami per kilogram.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, so the complete question is below:


Hailey\ paid\ \$13\ for\ 1\ 3/7\ kg\ of\ sliced\ salami.\ \\What\ was\ the\ cost\ per\ kilogram\ of\ salami?

Now, to find the cost of salami per kilogram.

Cost of
1(3)/(7) kilogram of sliced salami = $13.

Now, to get the cost of salami per kilogram we use unitary method:

If, the cost of
(10)/(3) kilogram of salami = $13.

Then, the cost of 1 kilogram of salami =
(13)/((10)/(3))


=(13)/(10)* 3


=(39)/(10)


=\$3.90.

Therefore, $3.90 was the cost of salami per kilogram.
