Question

In the deli, meat and cheese are sold by the pound. There is usually a unit price in each variety in the refrigerator case. If honey ham costs $5.99 per lb, how much would 1.5 lbs cost? Enter your answer as a decimal rounded to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Since it's $5.99 per lb, if you divide that in half you get $2.99 so then you would add 5.99+2.99 which would mean 1.5 lbs of ham costs $8.98
