Question

Alan buys a roast that weighs 5.6 pounds and costs $2.25 a pound. Find the amount he pays.

Answer 1

Answer: $12.60

Since a pound of roast costs $2.25, we will just multiply this to the weight of roast Alan bought,

$2.25\frac{\text{ dollars}}{\text{ pound}}\times5.6\text{ pounds}=12.6\text{ dollars}$

Therefore, Alan paid $12.60
