Find the original price per pound.

Answer 1

Answer:

look down

Step-by-step explanation:

sam bought 3 pounds so 0.75 multiplied with 3 is 2.25 then we subtract 5.88 by 2.25 to get the original price for 3 pounds which is 3.63. Last step we divide 3.63 by 3 to get the original price for 1 pound and the answer should be 1.21 per pound.

The final equation should be $5.88- $2.25÷3= $1.21
