What was the price per pound?

Question

James paid for 2 pounds of strawberries with a ten dollar bill. He recieved 3.00$ in change

 

Answer 1

For 2 pound strawberries, he paid $10 and got $3 in return. 

Cost of 2 pound = 10-3 = $7

Cost of 1 pound = $7/2 = $3.5

Hence, cost per pound of strawberry is $3.5

Answer 2

10 - 3 = 7

 

This is how much he paid for 2 lbs.

 

7/2 = 3.50 per lb
