Question

You can buy 3 pounds of strawberries for 3.99 at Kroger knowing this what is the unit rate per pound of strawberries and how much would 5 pounds cost

Answer 1

Answer:

• 1.33 per pound
• 6.65 for 5 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To find cost per pound, divide cost by pounds.

  3.99/(3 lb) = 1.33/lb . . . . cost per pound

The cost of 5 pounds will be found by multiplying that by 5:

  (1.33/lb)(5 lb) = 6.65 . . . cost of 5 pounds
