Is Ms. Chen correct? Explain your answer.

PLS HELO ASAP

Answer 1

No Ms Chen is not correct and the price is $1.99 per pound

Explanation:

Ms Chen is not correct because she did the division wrong. She was supposed to divide the price by the pounds but she divided the pounds by the price. The correct way of doing this would be dividing $12.95 by 6.5 which gets you 1.99230769 but since this is money that rounds to $1.99 per pound
