Sarah bought some sweet potatoes for Thanksgiving dinner. She paid $4.03 for 3.5 pounds. How much did the sweet potatoes cost per pound? Pls explain the steps!

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

i might be a little rusty at it but hopefully this helps
