Answer:

  • $42.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the ratio to solve:

  • 4.5 → 47.25
  • 4.04 → x

Cross multiply and solve for x:

  • 4.5x = 4.04*47.25
  • 4.5x = 190.89
  • x = 190.89/4.5
  • x = 42.42

The answer is $42.42

Here,

At the neighborhood grocery,

4.5 pounds of steak cost= $47.25

So,1 pounds of steak cost=[tex]\bold{\dfrac{47.25}{4.5}\$ }[/tex]

According to the question,

4.04 pounds of steak cost=

[tex]\bold{\dfrac{47.25}{4.5}×4.04 }[/tex]

[tex]\bold{\dfrac{\cancel{47.25}}{\cancel{4.5}}×4.04}[/tex]

[tex]\bold{ 10.5×4.04 }[/tex]

[tex]\bold{ 42.42 }[/tex]

so,

42.42$ would it cost to buy 4.04 pounds of steak.
