joe bbq sells bbq by the pound michelle buys 8.75 worth of sides and then she get six pounds of bbq if her total was is 40. 55 how much was each pound of bbq

First, we need to set up an equation.

6x + 8.75 = 40.55

Then, we use the equation to solve for how much a pound of BBQ costs.

To move 8.75 to the other side, we have to subtract 8.75 from both sides of the equation.

6x = 40.55 - 8.75

6x = 31.8

Next, we divide both sides by 6 to get the value of x.

6x/6 = x

31.8/6 = 5.3

Lastly, add the correct unit.

$5.3.

Therefore, the price per pound of BBQ is $5.30
