Answer:
$2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Sally pays 2.5 lbs of chuck for 6.25. We need to convert this to 1 pound, to see how much money it take to equal 1 pound .
Set up proportion.
[tex] \frac{1}{x} = \frac{2.5}{6.25} [/tex]
[tex]2.5 x = 6.25[/tex]
[tex]x = 2.5[/tex]
it takes 2 dollar and 50 cents for 1 lb of ground chuck
In my theory, I suppose that the key word to look at is "per"in the question above. All you need to do is to is to divide $6.25 with 2 1/2 lb
