Ajay went to the store to buy some chicken. The price per pound of the chicken is $3.75 per pound and he has a coupon for $1.75 off the final amount. With the coupon, how much would Ajay have to pay to buy 5 pounds of chicken? Also, write an expression for the cost to buy pp pounds of chicken, assuming at least one pound is purchased.
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2
Final cost of 5 pounds:
Final cost of pp pounds:
Final cost of 5 pounds: (5 * $3.75) - $1.75 = $18.75 - $1.75 = $17
Expression for the cost to buy pp pounds: (pp * $3.75) - $1.75
