Answer 1

Answer

The cost of the one pound of the box is $0.974.

Explanation:

As given

Willis Rusch recently purchased a 5-pound box of treats for his dog.

The total purchase price was $4.87 .

i.e

Cost of 5- pound box = $4.87

Thus

$Price\ per\ pound = \frac{Total\ cost\ of\ 5\ pound\ box}{Total\ box}$

Putting the values in the above

$Price\ per\ pound = \frac{\ 4.87}{5}$

                                     = $ 0.974

Therefore the cost of the one pound of the bos is $0.974.
