Question

A store sells an 8-pound bag of flour for $18.80. If larry can buy a 2-pound bag of flour at the same rate, what would be the price of the 2-pound bag?

Answer 1

$4.70

Explanation:

First, you need to divide 18.80 by 8.

18.80/8 = 2.35

2.35 is the unit price for one (1) pound bag of flour,

Multiply by 2 to find the price of a two (2) pound bag.

2.35 * 2 = 4.7

$4.70 is the price of a two-pound bag.

hope this helps :)
