Answer 2

Answer: $27.06

Step-by-step explanation: First, we need to find the unit price.

Unit price means the cost per unit, in this case,

the cost per pound of fish.

Since we know that it costs $12.30 for 5 pounds of fish, to the find

the cost per pound, we need to divide 5 into $12.30 or 5 into 12.30.

Dividing, 12.30 divided by 5 is 2.46.

This means that 1 pound is $2.46.

To find the cost for 11 pounds, we multiply 2.46 by 11 to get 27.06.

This means it costs $27.06 for 11 pounds of fish.
