Question 949134

If I need to buy 1 lb. 12.8 oz of beans and each pound cost $2.25 how much would I pay?
<pre>Use proportions!!
1 lb 12.8 oz = {{{1 + 12.8/16}}}, or {{{1.8}}} lbs
With C being the cost of the beans weighing 1 lb 12.8 oz, we then get the proportion: {{{1.8/C = 1/2.25}}}
Solve for cost (C) to get: {{{highlight_green(C = "$"4.05)}}}
