carrie buys 4.16 pounds of apples for $5.20 how much does 1 pound cost
we know that
Carrie buys \(4.16\) pounds of apples for $\(5.20\) how much does \(1\) pound cost
by proportion
\(\frac{5.20}{4.16} \frac{dollars}{pound} =\frac{x}{1} \frac{dollars}{pound} \\ \\ x=\frac{5.2}{4.16} \\ \\ x=1.25\ dollars\)
therefore
the answer is
The cost of one pound is equal to \(1.25\ dollars\)
