Answer 1

How much would it cost to buy 10 pounds of peanuts?

Answer: $35

What is the cost per pound?

Answer: $3.50

Explanation:

So first, to find the anser to the first question, we need to find out the second question. So, what is the cost per pound.

Well if she got 4 pounds for $14, we should try dividing 14 by 4.

14 divided by 4 = 3.5 ($3.50)

So the cost per pound is $3.50

Now to find out how much it costs if Lulu bought 10 pounds, we need to multiply.

10 x 3.5 = 35

So if she bought 10 pounds, she would play $35
