You can buy a 20 pound bag of dog food for $35. What is the cost per pound?

Answer 1

The cost per pound is $1.75.

Explanation:

I feel like the best way to solve this is through ratios.

Write what we know and what we have to find out:

`(20)/(35) *(1)/(x)`

Cross multiply:

35 * 1 = 35

Now divide:

35/20 = 1.75

The cost per pound is $1.75.
