at a grocery store, an uncooked beef roast is on sale for $5.99/lb. At the same grocery store, prepared roast beef is available at the deli for $2.99/100g. How much more expensive is the deli roast compared to the uncooked roast?

$7.58/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

raw roast: $5.99 per lb

deli roast: $2.99 for 100g

We know the price per lb of the raw roast.

Let's find the price per lb of the deli roast.

1 lb = 454 grams

454 grams / 100 grams = 4.54

1 lb is 4.54 times 100 g

If we multiply the price of 100g of deli roast by 4.54, we get teh price per lb.

$2.99/lb * 4.54 = $13.57/lb

raw roast: $5.99/lb

deli roast: $13.57/lb

difference in price of 1 lb: $13.57 - $5.99 = $7.58

$7.58/lb

.01669 $/g or $7.57 $/lb

Step-by-step explanation:

$2.99/100g = .0299 $/g

1 lb = 453.59237 g.

$5.99/453.59237 g= .0132$/g
