The hardware store where you work charge 80 cents including tax, for a pound of nails. A customer purchases 5 3/4 pound of nails. How much should you charge the customer for nails?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$4.60

1 lb ---> 80 cents

5 3/4 lb ---> 5 3/4 * 80 cents

$5 \dfrac{3}{4} \times 80 =$

$= \dfrac{23}{4} \times \dfrac{80}{1}$

$= \dfrac{23 \times 80}{4 \times 1}$

$= \dfrac{1840}{4}$

$= 460$

460 cents = $4.60
