Question

Nora used a ten dollar bill to buy a 1/2 gallon of ice cream for $ 3.25 and 1 1/2 pound of meat. If her change was $0.96, what was the price per pound fir the meat?

Answer 1

I don't know, but she sure got ripped off.

Answer 2

$3.86.

Answer 3

$3.86 for one pound of meat.

Answer 4

$10.00 - $3.25 (ice cream) = $6.75 - $0.96 (change) = $5.79

If 1 1/2 lb meat cost $5.79 then 1/2 lb costs 1/3 of that which is $1.93. So one pound of meat is 2 x $1.93 which is $3.86

Answer 5

3.25 + (1½ × price) + .96 = 10.00

Answer 6

10.00-(3.25+.96)=x   then  

x /1.5= your answer

10.00-4.21=5.79/1.5

=3.86 per pound

Answer 7

her change was $5.21

Answer 8

$10.00 - $0.96 = $9.04 spent

$9.04 - $3.25 = $5.79 meat cost

$5.79/(3/2) = $5.79*2/3 = $3.86/lb

Answer 9

Let the total cost of the meat be M.

10 = 3.25 + M + 0.96

5.79 = M

5.79/1.50 = 3.86 per pound
