Question

At the grocery store, Jerry spent $24.75 for 3 pounds of chicken and 3 pounds of cheese. The cheese cost $4.50 per pound. What was the cost of the chicken

per pound?

Answer 1

$3.75 per pound of chicken

Explanation:

Price of 3 pounds of cheese $ 4.50x3= $13.50

$24.75-$13.50 = $11.25 (price of 3 pounds of chicken)

Chicken : $11.25/ 3 = $3.75 per pound

$11.25 + $13.50 = $24.75
