Question

Sharon sells brown sugar for $1.75 per pound. She also sells powder sugar for $3.25 per pound. If she decided to mix the two and sell them as a new type of sugar, how much would the new sugar be if she mixed 5 pounds of each type of sugar?​

Answer 1

$25

Explanation:

1.75x5=8.75

3.25x5=16.25

16.25+8.75=$25

Answer 2

1.75 x 5 = 8.75

3.25 x 5 = 16.25

8.75 + 16.25 = $25.00
