Robert buys 4 pounds of cauliflower at $0.85 a pound. He also buys 4 pounds of brussels sprouts. If he spends $6.40 on the vegetables, how much did the brussels sprouts cost per pound? A. $0.80 B. $0.75 C. $0.85 D. $0.76

Respuesta :

$0.85 * 4 = $3.40

$6.40 - $3.40 = $300

Brussel sprouts per pound = $300 / 4
                                              = $0.75
The answer is b because he paid 3.40 for cauliflower which leaves 3 dollars left and 4 pounds divided by 3 dollars is .75 cents.
