Question

an 8-pound bag of potatoes costs $18 at this price how much would 15 pounds cost?

Answer 1

The easiest way is to break it down by dividing 18 by 8 (to find how much it costs per pound) 18 divided by 8 is 2.25 which is the price per pound. Then we would multiply 2.25 and 15 which is $33.75. I hope that helped!!
