To solve this, write a proportion of Pounds to Cost:
Pounds:     3         x
     Cost: 25.50   42.50

Cross multiply 3 and 42.50, this gives you 127.5
Then, divide by 25.5
This gives you 5.
You can buy 5 pounds with $42.50

Hnmm what's simple, follow this structure- always find the rate(by dividing) first find the rate of 3 pounds and 25.50
3pounds=. 1pound=?
25.50. Try for 1LBS So in order to get this divide 3 by the number that gets it 1 (for one pound)

Which is 3 so 3pounds divided by 3 = the one pound you want. So now divide the 25.50 by 3 to get 8.50. Now this is the problem
1pound=so ____pounds=
8.50. 42.50
All you have to do is divide 42.50 by 8.50 to get 5 FIVE POUNDS EQUAL 42.50 your welcome, I think :)
