(Sorry it was late I totally lost track of time)

We go shopping every 2 weeks. So here is the things we get usually, most of the times are at H.E.B supermarket.

The 4 meats are:

Pork loins - $1.99/pound

Boneless chicken breasts - $1.99/pound

Boneless turkey - $2.99/pound

Ground chicken - $2.99/pound

The 3 fruits are

Orange - $.99/lb

Watermelon - $.99/lb

Strawberries - $1.99/pound

Find the cost per pound.

Orange .99+ watermelon .99+ strawberries + 1.99=3.97/31.3233333 or $1.32 the average cost of the fruits.

Total weight in ounces is 64. In 1 pound there are 16 ounces, 16*4(packages of meats) =64

Total cost for all the meats.

Pork loins - $1.99/pound + Boneless chicken breasts - $1.99/pound + Boneless turkey - $2.99/pound + Ground chicken - $2.99/pound= 9.96 is the total of packages in meat.

Total average cost per ounces/pound

$9.96/4 (4 for each pound) =$2.49 price average for pound

$2.49/16=0.155625 which is $0.15 per ounce.

So after all the calculation of my groceries list, I’m not that surprise because H.E.B is the cheapest and freshest item you can get in Texas. Also I think is great that we learn this and showed how much we actually spend on food and packaging

Write an equation that models how old in years each of you will be, when you add ages add up to 150 yrs old.
