Question

Harry is comparing the cost of a fresh lobster dinner at two different restaurants. The first restaurant charges $15 for the meal, plus $4 per pound for the lobster he picks. At the second restaurant, Harry would pay $3 per pound for the lobster, in addition to $38 for the meal. Harry realizes that, in theory, dinner at both restaurants could cost the same amount if the lobster had a certain weight. How much would Harry pay for his dinner? What is the weight?

Answer 1

Answer:i’m not sure but i think it’s around 10-11 for per pound for the lobsters.

Step-by-step explanation:

15$ + 4per lobster = 19$ and 38$+$3=41 so it should be around that amount of 22

Answer 2

he would pay $107

and it would weigh 23 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

15+4p=x

38+3p=x

15+4p=38+3p

subtract 3p from both sides

15+p=38

subtract 15 from both sides

p=23

15+4(23)=107

38+3(23)=107
