From the question it self we know that 1 pound of chicken costs $3.75. In order to solve this question we just need to find out how much 1 pound does fit into 2.25 pounds and then multiple the result by $3.75. We can find that out by dividing 2.25 by 1, and we get 2.25. Then we do the following....
2.25 x $3.75 = $8.4375
We got $8.4375 as an answer but we have to remember that when we are talking about money and we have to round to the nearest cent (which is equal to 1 hundredth of a dollar). So now we just have to round to the nearest hundredth, and we get $8.44 as our answer.
