Answer: $0.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Facts
got 3 lbs of oranges
paid with $10, got 8.20 in change.
Step 1: Find how much the 3lbs of oranges actually cost (actual total)
10-8.20= 1.8
Step 2: Find the unit rate (cost per lb)
Cost per lb. Divide the cost by the number of pounds, as shown:
1.8/3= 0.6
Step 3: Checks
[hypothetically], each pound costs 0.60.
Buying 3 pounds of oranges, multiply 0.6x3= 1.8.
Now, you pay with $10.
To find how much change you get, subtract 10-1.8= 8.20
These computations are correct, and the resulting facts match those given in the question. This is how I double check the answer is accurate.
Hence, each pound costs $0.60, or 60 cents.
Hope this helps :)) brainiest would be appreciated :D
