Question

i need help with this problem A tea merchant sells tea for $15.99 per kilogram. If a customer orders 1/2 pound of tea, how much will it cost the customer?

Answer 1

In order to calculate the cost of 1/2 pound of tea, let's first convert the mass from pound to kilogram.

Since 1 pound is equal to 0.45 kilogram, 1/2 pound is equal to 0.225 kilogram.

Then, since 1 kilogram of tea costs $15.99, 0.225 kilogram of tea costs 15.99 * 0.225 = 3.6.

Therefore the cost will be $3.60.
