We know that the puppy weights 56 ounces and it tells us that 1 pound = 16 ounces so every 16 ounces we have a pound. It wants to know how many pounds does the puppy weights. 56 / 16 = number of pounds. So 56 divided by 16 = pounds. The puppy weights 3.5 pounds
I think the question is asking for the cost (C) when we already know that the sell price (S) is $24 So C+M=S C+0.45C=24 1.45C=24 C=16.5516 And the answer is $16 and 55 cents
