Sally paid $1.50 for pounds of apples at the Grocery Mart. Fred paid $1.95 for 3 pounds of apples at the Corner Fruit Stand. How much did Sally pay per pound of apples? (enter in the format of money, do not use the $ sign) Answer value'

Part A: Sally paid less money per pound than Fred did

Part B: John paid $3.58 for 5.5 pounds of apples at the Grocery Mart

Part C: y = 0.65x

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Sally: 1.5/2.5 = x/1

cross multiply: 2.5x = 1.5*1

simplify: 2.5x = 1.5

divide both sides by 2.5: x = 0.6

Fred: 1.95/3 = x/1

cross multiply: 3x = 1.95*1

simplify: 3x = 1.95

divide both sides by 3: x = 0.65

Fred paid 65¢/pound while Sally paid 60¢/pound

Part B:

price/pound*amount John bought: 0.65/1 = x/5.5

cross multiply: 1x = 0.65*5.5

simplify: x = 3.575

Part C:

y = 0.65x
