Step-by-step explanation:
First, there are two pounds and each pound is 85 cents. So, multiple 85 cents by 2.
That, will come put to $1.70
Now we still have .75 left of a pound. It will be best to figure out how much a quarter pound will cost because 3 of how much one quarter pound cost is .75 pounds. So, in order to find that out we know .85 cents is one pound so we will have to dived that by 4.
That will come out to, .21 cents
Now, that is for one quarter pound. we have to find .75 pounds. So, multiple the quarter pound by 3.
That will come out to, .63 cents.
.63 is for .75 of a pound. So, the last thing we have to do is take our .75 pound and add it to our 2 pound one that we solved for earlier.
That will come out to, $2.33
So you're answer will be $2.33 for 2.75 pounds.
