3b. 22 lbs of potatoes
cost $88. how
many lbs of
potatoes can you
get with $92?

23lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

We can put this into a ratio.

Each 22lbs of potatoes equal $88,

22:88

Simplify it because we need to find out how much 1 potato/dollar buys you each.

22:88

/22 /22

1 lb: 4 Dollar

Now we need to find out how much potatoes you can buy with $92 dollars, so we have to make the (4 Dollar) into 92 Dollars.

92/4=23

1lb:4 Dollar

*23 *23       <- Whatever we do to one side we do to the other,

23lbs:$92

the answer is 844

step-by-step explanation:

it is 844 because if you add 836.50 + 7.5 you will get 844
