Answer 2

Answer:

$0.68 for 1.3 pounds of lettuce

$0.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply .52 by 1.3 since its $0.52 per pound,

0.52*1.32 - 0.676

Since its money round to the nearest cent, so its $0.68

1 pound = 16 ounces

So first you have to find how much it costs for 1 ounce.

So divide 0.52 by 16

0.52/16 = 0.0325 for one ounce

Then multiply 0.0325 by 14 since its 14 ounces.

0.0325*14 = 0.455

Then round to the nearest cent since its money, so its $0.46
