Raymond purchased a package of ground beef at a cost of $1.98 per pound. If, for the same amount of money, Raymond could have purchased a piece of steak that weighed 40 percent less than the package of ground beef, what was the cost per pound of the steak?A. $4.95B. $4.20C. $3.60D. $3.30E. $3.10

So, the cost per pound of the steak is $3.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Raymond purchased a package of ground beef at a cost of $1.98 per pound. For the same amount of money, Raymond could have purchased a piece of steak that weighed 40 percent less than the package of ground beef.  

We conclude that 40% is less than one pound,  is equal with 0.6 pound.

We have the following proportion:

So, the cost per pound of the steak is $3.3.

isaiah walks 3 miles due north, turns and then 5 miles due east. how far is he from his starting point?

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

let c = distance from starting point.

(3)^2 + (5)^2 = c^2

9 + 25 = c^2

34 = c^2

sqrt{34} = sqrt{c^2}

sqrt{34} = c

so the rectangle is 80cm (area)

now to find the area of a triangle.

base times height.

4 times 8.

your answer is 96cm.

hope this .
