Question

Ariel spent a total of $3.42 buying dried apricots from the bulk bins, which were on sale for $2.85 per pound. To the nearest tenth of a pound, how many pounds of dried apricots did Ariel buy?

Answer 1

I believe it is 1.228, but don't take this answer too seriously.

Answer 2

3.42 (amount spent)/2.85(amount per pound)= 1.2 lbs.
