If I spent $3.87 on grapes at Tom Thumb and I bought 3.05 pounds. How much was each pound?

(round to the nearest hundredths place because it is money)

Answer:

$1.26 or $1.27 depending on whether you round up or down. The number in the thousandths is an 8 though

Explanation:

You would divide 3.05 by itself to get one pound

and then 3.87 by 3.05. You have to divide both numbers so you get the number for one pound.

3.87÷3.05=1.268852459

Round up or down depending on what your teacher would want you to do so that the decimal is in the hundreths like money.
