Mrs. Figueroa made a spaghetti dinner for the cheerleaders after practice. She purchased four and three fourths pounds of beef for $3.99 per pound. How much money did she spend on the beef for the spaghetti?

$7.25
$8.87
$9.98
$18.95


Sagot :

Answer is $18.95 for beef

Step by step

4 3/4 pounds x $3.99 per pound

Change your fraction into a decimal and multiply

4.75 x 3.99 = 18.95

Or

4 3/4 x 3.99

Change to improper fraction

19/4 x 3.99

Multiply across

75.81/4

Divide = $18.95

Problem solved!!
