Since it's a multiple of 24, it has to be a multiple of the factors of 24.
Factors of 24:
2,3,4,6,8,12
You can use some of this knowledge to help create the number.
Since the # needs to be a multiple off 2, the last digit needs to be an 8
All numbers that are multiples of 3 have the property that all of their digits added together have to be a number that is evenly divisible by 3.
so your number will look like:
_ _ _ _ _ 8
so start trying combinations for the other 5 digits that give you a number that is a multiple of 3: 3,6,9,12,15, ect. If you can't find one, then it's impossible
For all exponents, (a^n a^m) = a^(n+m)
apply same rules (X^3X^2)/(4*3)
Combine powers. (X^3X^2)/4*3 = X^(3+2)/4*3
X^5/12
So it would be $8.65/ 5lbs. And divide the top and the bottom by 5 and you get $1.73/ 1 lbs. I hope this helps!
