Answer 6

The answer above is incorrect.

This is how you do it.
Since you want the average price per pound, that means you need to divide a price by a weight.
Divide the total cost by the total weight.

You are given the total cost: $8.68.
You are given two weights: 0.70 lb and 0.75 lb.
Add the weights together to find the total weight.

Then divide the total cost by the total weight.

Answer 7

so its the same thing that ivettef365 told me?

Answer 8

No. Ivette told you to divide the weight by the cost.
You need to divide the cost by the weight.
