Question

Boubacar went to the store to buy some walnuts. The price per pound of the walnuts
is $6.50 per pound and he has a coupon for $3.75 off the final amount. With the
coupon, how much would Boubacar have to pay to buy 4 pounds of walnuts? Also,
write an expression for the cost to buy p pounds of walnuts, assuming at least one pound is purchased.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Price per pound of the walnuts = $ 6.50

Price of 4 pounds of the walnuts = 4 *6.50 = $ 26

Amount needs to be paid = Price of 4 pounds of walnut - coupon amount

             = 26 - 3.75

              = $ 22.25

Expression:

Cost to buy p pounds of walnuts = p * 6.50 = 6.5p

Cost to buy p pounds of walnuts, assuming at least one pound is purchased =  6.50 + 6.5p
