Question

ANTHONY BOUGHT 3 lb OF TOMATOES FOR $ 5.55. AT THIS RATE, HOW MUCH WOULD 7 lb OF TOMATOES COST?

Answer 1

Answer:

12.95

5.55÷3=1.85

which means $1.85 each or per Ib

1.85×7=12.95

Answer 2

Answer: $12.95

First let’s find how much 6 pounds would be. So let’s double the weight and price.

11.10 for 6lbs

So now we need one more pound. 1 pound is a 1/3 of 3 pounds. So take a third of 5.55

1/3 of 5.55 is 1.85

Now add the 1.85 to 11.10 and you get 12.95

So it’s 12.95 for 7 pounds
