Allison was comparing the price of salmon at two stores. At SuperGrocery B, 0.5 pounds of salmon costs $2.77. The table below represents the total cost, in dollars and cents, yy, that it costs for xx pounds of salmon at SuperGrocery A.
When we divide 6.45 by 10, we get 0.645 so, we know that is the rate per 0.1 pound. We multiply 6.45 by 2 to get 12.9 and add 0.645 four times since it is 2.4 pounds and get 15.48.
