and d
OpenStudy (butterflyhope):
I think it's D because:
5p = 3
/5 /5
= p = 0.6
0.6 x 5 = 3.
OpenStudy (tbnrfrags):
you would take the amount of pounds and divide by the price, when you do that you will get 1.66666 etc etc then you turn the price into the P and plug it in instead of the price per pound you would use the P
