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
