price of the potatoes?
A. $9.40 per pound
B. $8.46 per pound
C. $1.41 per pound
D. $0.94 per pound

Answer 1

D.$0.94 per pound since $2.82 divided by the 3 pounds is .94

Answer 2

D. $0.94 per pound

Explanation:

To find how much each potato costs, we have to do 2.82/3

This is equal to $0.94, so $0.94 per pound!

Check:

With each potato being $0.94 ( according to my calculations ), 3 potatoes should be $2.82. So, $0.94 * 3 should be equal to $2.82.

3 * 0.94 = 2.82 Correct!
