Question

Joan's Candy Emporium is having a sale. Three pounds of gummy bunnies are selling for $4.00. How much will two pounds cost?

Answer 1

`$2.67`

Explanation:

Let a pound of gummy bunnies `= x`

`3x = 4`

Find `2x`.

From above,

`3x = 4`

Therefore

`x = 4/3`

This means that

`2x = 8/3`

or `$2.67`.
