Question

lisa purchased almonds for 3.50 per round. she spent a total of 24.50, how many pounds of almonds did she purchase?

Answer 1

Explanation:

3.50 per pound

Let each pound represent x

Total of almonds bought is 24.50

therefore 3.50x = 24.50

x = 24.50 ÷3.50

x= 7

Answer 2

7 pounds

Explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question add the cost of a pound worth of almonds to the total amount of money she spent altogether in till you cannot add anymore.

`3.50+3.50=7.00`

`7.00+3.50=10.50`

`10.50+3.50=14.00`

`14.00+3.50=17.50`

`17.50+3.50=21.00`

`21.00+3.50=24.50`

=
`7lb`

Check work:

`3.50*7=24.50`

Hope this helps
