Answer:
55 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's convert 0.45 lb to kilograms
2.20 lb = 1 kg is the conversion factor, hence:
[tex]0.45lb*\frac{1Kg}{2.2lb}\\=\frac{0.45}{2.2}\\=0.2045Kg[/tex]
So that's 0.2045 kg
Since 48 pesos is for 1 kg, hence for 0.2045 kg, the cost (in pesos) is:
0.2045 kg * 48 = 9.82 pesos
Now, we know 18 pesos is 100 cents (1 dollar), so how much is 9.82 pesos?? (let number of cents be X)
[tex]\frac{18Pesos}{100Cents}=\frac{9.82Pesos}{X}\\18X=9.82*100\\18X=982\\X=\frac{982}{18}\\X=54.6 Cents[/tex]
That's roughly 55 cents
