Question

An 8 pound box of halibut steaks is ordered costing $4.50 per pound. If each steak weighs 4 ounces, what is the cost of each steak?

Answer 1

8 pounds * 16 ounces/pound * 1 steak/4 ounces = 32 steaks
8 * 16 * 1/4 = 32

8 pounds * $4.50/pound = $36.00
8 * 4.5 = 36

$ / steak:
$36.00 / 32 steaks = $1.125/steak

That's a really good deal ;)
