Question

Lani buys groceries at the store for $30.25. He spent $5.25 on apples, $3.25 on a box of crackers, and the rest on 3 pounds of lunch meat. How much did the lunch meat cost, in dollars per pound?(1 point)

dollars per pound

Answer 1

Total spent on apples and crackers: $5.25 + $3.25 = $8.50

Amount spent on lunch meat: $30.25 - $8.50 = $<<30.25-8.50=21.75>>21.75
Cost per pound of lunch meat: $21.75 / 3 = $<<21.75/3=7.25>>7.25
The lunch meat cost $7.25 per pound. Answer: \boxed{7.25}.
