Answer: Approx: $1.15 an lb
Step-by-step explanation: The easy way to get the answer is to divide the total amount paid by how many pounds she bought ($4.03 / 3.5 lb)
The common core way of doing this is to set each number up in an equation. For this equation, multiply straight across then divide the rest.
x/1lb = $4.03/3.5lb ---multiply across----- 4.03x/3.5 -----divide what remains------ 1.15x ------divide by x to get x on the other side of the equation ----- x = 1.15
