Question 996402
- Let x be the ground beef.
- The 6lbs of steak were $5 more per pound, and since he bought 6lbs he paid
6*5= 30 more for the steak. So:
-------------
6x+30+20x= 82
26x= 52
x= 2 is the price of the ground meat, and the steak is:
2+5= $7 per lb
Proof:
6*7= 42
20*2=40
---------
Total 82 We have the correct answer
