Is $5.00 enough money to buy 1 pound of peanut
4:80 with 20 cents left over
yes with 20 cents left over
To determine if $5.00 is enough money to buy 1 pound of peanuts, we need to calculate the cost of 1 pound of peanuts at a rate of 30 cents per ounce.
There are 16 ounces in 1 pound. So, the total cost of 1 pound of peanuts can be found by multiplying the cost per ounce by the number of ounces in 1 pound.
Cost of 1 pound of peanuts = 30 cents/ounce * 16 ounces
= 480 cents
Since there are 100 cents in a dollar, we can convert 480 cents to dollars by dividing by 100.
Cost of 1 pound of peanuts = 480 cents / 100
= $4.80
Therefore, $5.00 is enough money to buy 1 pound of peanuts, as it exceeds the cost of $4.80.
