Question

lani buys groceries at the store for 30.25$. He spent 3.25$ on on a box of crackers, and the rest on 3 pounds of lunch meat. How much did the lunch meat coast in doller per pound?

Answer 1

To find the cost of the lunch meat per pound, we first need to subtract the cost of the box of crackers from the total amount spent on groceries: $30.25 - $3.25 = $<<30.25-3.25=27>>27.

Then, we divide the remaining amount spent on lunch meat by the number of pounds bought: $27 / 3 pounds = $<<27/3=9>>9 per pound.

Therefore, the lunch meat cost $9 per pound.
