Q. Julian is making potato salad for a family picnic. At the market, he spends $5.58\$5.58 on red potatoes and $4.68\$4.68 on yellow potatoes. If each type of potato costs $0.90\$0.90 per pound, how many total pounds of potatoes does he buy?\newlineWrite your answer as a whole number or decimal.\newline____\_\_\_\_ pounds\newline
  1. Calculate total spent: Calculate the total amount spent on potatoes.\newlineTotal spent = $5.58\$5.58 (red potatoes) + $4.68\$4.68 (yellow potatoes) = $10.26\$10.26
  2. Determine price per pound: Determine the price per pound of potatoes. Price per pound = $0.90\$0.90
  3. Calculate total pounds: Calculate the total pounds of potatoes Julian buys.\newlineTotal pounds = Total spent / Price per pound = $10.26\$10.26 / $0.90\$0.90 = 11.411.4 pounds
