Question

Caleb went to the grocery store to purchase hamburger meat and hamburger buns for an upcoming barbecue with his friends. At the grocery store, hamburger meat sells for $1.49 a pound and an 8-pack of hamburger buns sells for $2.99. He plans on making 4 hamburgers from each pound of hamburger meat and for each person, p, to eat 1 hamburger. He used the expression below to determine the cost per person of the hamburger meat and hamburger buns.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost per hamburger patty.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if it's 1.49 a pound and a pound feeds 4 people then 1.49/4 is the cost per patty.

Answer 2

About $0.75 per person.



First, let’s find the cost for each portion of hamburger meat and the cost for each bun.

We can do this for the meat by doing 1.49/4 to get 0.3725.

Now we can do the same with the buns by doing 2.99/8 to get 0.37375.

Now just add these together. 0.3725+0.37375 is 0.74625, which can be rounded to $0.75.

The cost per person is approximately $0.75.
