Answer:

1kg of salami cost $9.1

Explanation:

Hailey paid $13 for 1 3/7 kg of sliced salami.

What was the cost per kilogram of salami?

Cost of 1 3/7 kg of sliced salami=$13

1 3/7 kg=10/7kg

Let x=1 kg of sliced salami

10/7 kg of x=$13

$13=10/7x

13=10/7*x

x=13 ÷ 10/7

=13×7/10

=91/10

=9.1

x=$9.1

Therefore, 1kg of salami cost $9.1
