Peanuts in the shell, which regularly sell for 2.59 cents, are on sale at 2lbs for $5.00 . How much could you save on 10 pounds of peanuts if you bought them on sale?

The alternatives are as follows a. $2.10 , b. $0.90 , c. $0.45 and d. $0.18

Answer 1

#$0.90 or 90¢#

I assume they are regularly $2.59 per pound.

so the 2 pounds for $5.00 is #($5.00)/2 = $2.50# per pound.

We now deduct that from the usual cost to find our savings per pound:

#$2.59 - $2.50 = $0.09#

For ten pounds, how much can we save?

#10 times $0.09 =$0.90# or #90¢#
