No it is not
To find the cost per pound of the ham, we can divide the total cost of the ham by its weight. In this case, the total cost is $11.86 and the weight is 7.75 pounds.
To find the cost per pound, we can use the following formula:
Cost per pound = Total cost / Weight
Substituting the given values into the formula:
Cost per pound = $11.86 / 7.75 pounds
Using a calculator, we can find the answer:
Cost per pound ≈ $1.53
So, the cost per pound of the ham is approximately $1.53, not $1.50.
