At the neighborhood grocery, 4.5 pounds of chicken breast cost $53.28. Benjamin
spent $59.20 on chicken breast. How many pounds of chicken breast did he buy, to
the nearest hundredth of a pound?


Sagot :

If my math is correct this should be a simple equation. First you’d start off by figuring out how much money chicken costs per one pound.
53.28 / 4.5 = $11.84 per pound
Now take how much money the chicken costs per pound and divide it by how much Benjamin spent.
59.20 / 11.84 = 5 pounds
Your answer should be exactly 5 pounds
I apologize if this is incorrect math, but the equation seems simple at first glance.
