Question

Byron and his 3 friends spent $1.20 per pound for 8 1/2 pounds of candy. If each person paid the same amount, how much did each person pay?​

Answer 1

$2.55 per person

Explanation:

Byron plus his 3 friends = 4 friends total. If there are 8 1/2 of candy total and there are 4 people, you would need to divide 8 1/2 by 4 which would give you 2.125. From there, you would need to multiply that by $1.20, the amount per pound which would give you $2.55. So, each person paid $2.55 for candy.
