Clarence Mckee · Answer 1

4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I subtracted the cost of the first pound from the final product (3.73 - 2.38) and I got 1.35. I then divided the 1.35 by. 45 (the 45 cents) to figure out how many more pounds the package was from the initial 1 pounds. 1.35/.45 is 3, plus the 1 pound from the beginning makes 4 pounds in total.
