Answer:
- 1.33 per pound
- 6.65 for 5 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
To find cost per pound, divide cost by pounds.
3.99/(3 lb) = 1.33/lb . . . . cost per pound
The cost of 5 pounds will be found by multiplying that by 5:
(1.33/lb)(5 lb) = 6.65 . . . cost of 5 pounds
Your answer is E. $25.
First let under 12 = u, over 12 = o, and adults = a.
We can now write the equations:
2u + 3a + 3o = 174
4u + 2a = 122
a + o = 46
Because we know that a + o = 46, and 3a + 3o is in the first equation, we can multiply 46 by 3 to get what 3a + 3o equals. This makes 138.
Now we can substitute 138 into the first equation to get 2u + 138 = 174
2u = 36
u = 18
Now that we know what u equals, we can substitute it in to the second equation to get:
4(18) + 2a = 122
72 + 2a = 122
2a = 50
a = $25
