Question

Franco bought 1.5 pounds of deli cheese for$6.75 . If he went back for another 2 pounds of the same cheese, how much could Franco expect to pay?

Answer 1

set up a proportion...
1.5/6.75 = 2/x (1.5 lbs for 6.75 = 2 lbs for x$)
now cross multiply...
(1.5)(x) = (6.75)(2)
now solve for x
can you take it from here ?

Answer 2

9.00

Answer 3

8 dolers and 44 cents

Answer 4

1.5x = 13.50
x = 13.50/1.5
x = 9.00

Destiny, you got it right . Good job :)
