Answer :
We are given the cost of three pounds of coffee, and we are asked to find the cost of one pound. To do that we can use a rule of three, like this:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3\text{ pounds}\rightarrow22.56 \\ 1\text{pound}\rightarrow x \end{gathered}[/tex]Now we solve for "x" multipliying in cross, like this:
[tex]x=\frac{(1pound)(22.56)}{3pounds}[/tex]Now we solve the operations:
[tex]x=7.52[/tex]Therefore, one pound of coffee is $7.52
