Question

A candy store sells chocolate for ​$5.94 per pound. The piece you want to buy weighs 0.23 pound. How much will it​ cost, to the nearest​ cent?

Answer 1

5.94 is for one pound. 0.23 is the same as 23%
To find 23% of 5.94, take 0.23 time the price.
0.23 x 5.94 = 1.3662. The nearest cent is 1.37.
$1.37
