At the grocery store, Terry weighed his apples on the scale. They weighed 4.3 pounds. When he went to the register, he was charged $8.56. How much did Terry pay per pound of apples?

Answer 1

$1.99

Explanation:

You have to divide $8.56 by 4.3 pounds. Once done, you should have gotten approximately $1.99. You can double check it by multiplying $1.99 by 4.3 and you should get $8.56.

Answer 2

$1.99

Cost per pound = Total cost / weight of the apples

`=(8.56)/(4.3)\\\\=(8.56*10)/(4.3*10)\\\\=(85.6)/(43)\\\\=1.99`
