Question

Sidney is eating lunch at a salad bar where you

create your own salad. An 8-ounce salad costs
$2.49. Each additional ounce of salad costs
$0.25. How much does Sidney’s salad cost if it
weighs 1 pound, 8 ounces?

Answer 1

$7.47

Explanation:

Since a 8-ounce salad cost 2.49

You do 2.49+1 pound times 0.25

1 pound equals to 16 ounces

2.49 + 2.49 + 2.49

Correct. If I am wrong

Answer 2

Explanation:

the base is 2.49 for eight ozs so you already take off the ozs from 1 pound

since there are 16 ounces in one pound you multiply 16 by .25 and get 4 so you add 2.49 and 4 to get 6.49$ is the answer assuming there is no tax on the food
