A + 5 2/3 = 9
a + 17/3 = 9
move the 17/3 over to the other side by subtraction (will need to find a common denominator)
a = 10/3
Hope this helps

Given:
May:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 4.25 = 13.60
hotdogs: 3 packages * 4 = 12
Total cost: 13.60 + 12 = 25.60
June:
hamburger: 3.2 pounds * 1 1/2 = 4.8 pounds * 4.25 = 20.4
hotdogs: 3 packages * 1/3 = 1 package * 4 = 4
Total cost: 20.4 + 4 = 24.4
25.60 - 24.40 = 1.20
They spent more on May by $1.20. Choice C.
