Question

Answer 1

$3.30

Explanation:

We have been given that Hansika paid $9.25 for 2.8 pounds of pretzels. We are asked to find the price of one pound of pretzels.

The price of one pound of pretzels will be equal to total price divided by total pounds of pretzels.

`\text{Price of one pound pretzels}=\frac{\text{Total amount paid for 2.8 pounds}}{\text{2.8 pounds}}`

`\text{Price of one pound pretzels}=\frac{\$9.25}{\text{2.8 pounds}}`

`\text{Price of one pound pretzels}=\frac{\$3.30357}{\text{ pound}}`

Upon rounding to nearest hundredth, we will get:

`\text{Price of one pound pretzels}\approx \frac{\$3.30}{\text{ pound}}`

Therefore, Hansika paid $3.30 for one pound of pretzels.

Answer 2

9.25 per 2.8 pound
