Question

A pound of margarine costs $1.39. What is the cost of a kilogram of margarine

Answer 1

Answer:

              3.064 $

Solution:

First of all we will find the number of pounds contained by one Kg. Therefore, it is found that,

                                    1 Kilogram  = 2.20462 Pounds

Hence, as given,

                        1 Pound of Margarine costs  =  1.39 Dollars

So,

                  2.20462 Pounds Margarine will cost  =  X Dollars

Solving for X,

                     X  =  (2.20462 Pounds × 1.39 Dollars) ÷ 1 Pound

                     X =  3.064 Dollars
