Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the price for 5 bags of dog food, we have to find the unit rate. Now to do that we divide the price by the amount.

12.50/5= 2.50

now since we have the unit rate, we take that and multiply the price of one by 3 to find the price of 3

2.50x3=7.50

Hope this helps!
