Julie is making caesar salad for a family picnic. At the market, she spends $8 on green lettuce and $6 on red lettuce. If each type of lettuce costs $2 per pound, how many total pounds of lettuce did she buy?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
The total cost of the green and red lettuce is $8 + $6 = $14. Julie bought $14 / $2 = 7 pounds of lettuce.
Thus, the answer is 7.
