Jon is making dinner for his parents’ anniversary. To make the meatloaf, he buys 3/4 pound of ground beef and a bag of potatoes for $4.99. If he spent a total of $7.90 for the ingredients, how much does a pound of ground beef cost?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$3.88/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

Ⓗⓘ ⓣⓗⓔⓡⓔ

First we'd subtract the potato's cost from the total.

7.90-4.99=2.91

Then we'd divide 3/4 from 2.91--and you can divide fractions by multiplying by the reciprocal.

2.91*1.33333333...=$3.88/lb
