Delia went to the market to buy 4 pounds of sliced fruit in a container. She paid with a $20 bill and a $5 bill and received $3.67 as change. She paid $1.29 in taxes for the fruit. What was the cost for one pound of sliced fruit before taxes?

Answer:

$4.57. Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

20+5=25      

then you do

25-3.67= $21.33

you then divide that by the number of pounds she bought.

21.33/4= 5.3325

round that to the hundreths place and you get $5.33

so she paid $5.33 for a pound

Answer:

$4.74 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

((20 + 5) – 3.67) / 4.5 = (25 – 3.67) / 4.5 =

(21.33) / 4.5 = 4.74

I've seen this same problem before, it should be 4.5 pounds.
