Question

Charlene and Gary want to make trail mix. In order to get the right balance of ingredients for their tastes they bought 3 pounds of raisins at $2.67 per pound, 3 pounds of peanuts for $2.73 per pound, and 5 pounds of chocolate chips for $3.27 per pound. Determine the cost per pound of the trail mix.
The cost per pound of the trail mix is $________.

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.96

Step-by-step explanation:

3x$2.67=$8.01

3x$2.73=$8.19

5x$3.27=$16.35

$8.01+$8.19+$16.35=$32.55

This makes 11 pounds of trail mix.

$32.55 divided by 11 = $2.9590909 = $2.96
