Apples used to cost $1.6 per pound. The price got raised 25%. How much does it cost to buy 2 pounds of apples for each person in a 4 member family?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
The price increase raised the price by 1.6 * .25 = $.4. So each pound of apples cost 1.6 + .4 = $2. 2 * 4 = 8 pounds of apples are bought. So the apples cost 8 * 2 = $16.
Thus, the answer is 16.
