Parmesan cheese was on sale for $13.60 per pound. Wesley bought a piece of the Parmesan cheese that weighed 1 1/8 pounds. How much did he pay?

Answer 1

Answer:$18.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Parmesan cheese was on sale for  $13.60 per pound

Welsey bought a piece of the parmesan cheese that weighted \frac{11}{8} pounds

we need to spend$13.60 for 1 pound

for $\frac{11}{8} pound$

$\frac{11}{8}\times 13.60= 18.72$

So Wesley need to spend $18.70 to get the Parmesan cheese.

Answer 2

He payed $15.30 is you divide 13.60 by 8 you get 1.70then you just add 13.60+1.70 because he also bought a pound
