Question

If a 10-pound sack of potatoes costs $6.55, how much would 1 pound cost? Round your answer to the nearest cent. A. $.65 B. $.66 C. $1.65 D. $6.55

Answer 1

To determine the cost of 1 pound of potato, simply divide the 10-pound sack of potatoes cost by the number of pounds, 10. That is,
                               c = $6.55 / 10 = $0.655 
Thus, each pound of potatoes cost nearly $0.66. The answer is letter B.
