What would be the right way to figure.Say Pork Chops are $4.49 lb. and you buy 5 lbs. and 11ozs. How would you work this problem on paper. Thank You

\(\displaystyle Cost = 4.49 * \frac{91}{16}\)

Jee I should have figured that. So simple.

Say Pork Chops are $4.49 lb. Do you mean $4.49 per lb. ?



You titled your submission: "Calculating cost per pound".

If you pay $4.49 for each pound that you purchase, then the "cost per pound" is $4.49 and you pay too much.

Yes that $4.49 per pound.
