Hannah paid $8.63 at the grocery store for beans and potatoes. She bought 4 pounds of beans at $0.62 per pound and 5 pounds of potatoes. How much did Hannah pay per pound for the potatoes?
$3.67

$1.32

$6.15

$1.23

$1.23

Step-by-step explanation:

First start off by multiplying $0.62 by 4 to find out the total she paid for all four pounds of beans. This would give you $2.48 spent on beans. Subtract $2.48 from the total amount spent ($8.63). You now have $6.15 left on what she could have spent on 5 pounds of potatoes. Do $6.15 divided by 5 to get an answer of $1.23. Hannah paid $1.23 per pound for the potatoes.
