If 3 3/4 pounds of candy cost $20.25, how much is 1 pound of candy

3 and 3/4lb=20.25

what you should do is divide both sides by 3 and 3/4 but that isnt nice

convert 3 and 3/4 to improper

3 and 3/4=3+3/4=12/4+3/4=15/4

15/4lb=20.25

times 4/15 to both sides (15/4 times 4/15=60/60=1)

1lb=81/15

1lb=5.4

answer is

1lb=$5.40
