Given :

A grocery store charges 1.25 $ for every 3/4 pound of chocolate purchased.

To Find :

How much will the store charge a customer who purchases 9 pounds of chocolate .

Solution :

3/4 pound store charges 1.25 $ .

Let , cost of 1 pound is x .

So ,

$\dfrac{3x}{4}=1.25\\\\x=\dfrac{1.25\times 4}{3}\\\\x=1.67\ \$$

Now , cost of 9 pounds chocolate is :

$C=9\times 1.67\ \$\\\\C=15.03\ \$$

Therefore , cost of 9 pounds chocolate is 15.03 $ .

Hence , this is the required solution .
