Two shoppers bought meat at a supermarket deli. The first shopper bought 3 pounds of meat for $9. 87. The second shopper bought 4 pounds of a meat that costs $1 more per pound than the meat the first shopper bought. How much did the second shopper pay?

$12.87

Step-by-step explanation:

9.87 divided by 3 = 3.29

3.29 + 1 = 4.29

4.29 x 3 = 12.87

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

answer is because 4×10=40

and 98×4= is 392

40,392
