Sonya paid $2.75 per pound for fresh fish last week. This week, she paid a total of $1.20 more when she purchased 3 pounds of fish. What is the price per pound this week, in dollars per pound?

Respuesta :

The price of fish this week is $3.15 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the total price of 3 pound fish for last week

So,

Price of fish per pound = $2.75

Price of 3 pound fish = 2.75 * 3 = $8.25

As she made $1.20 more in total for 3 pound fish this week

Price of 3 pound fish this week = 8.25+1.20 = $9.45

$9.45 is the total price for 3 pound fish this week.

So,

Price per pound this week will be:

[tex]=\frac{9.45}{3}\\=3.15[/tex]

Hence,

The price of fish this week is $3.15 per pound
