Question

You have just purchased a 6-lb bag of apples for $4.80 at a local produce stand. How much would you expect to pay for a 10-lb bag of apples?

Answer 1

First, find out how much money it cost per 1 lb of apples.

Divide $4.8/ 6 lbs

$0.8/ 1 lbs

Multiply amount per pound by cost

0.8 * 10 = 8

$8.00 for 10 lb bag of apples.
