  1. Lilly spends $5.84 per pound

    Explanation:
    The word "of" in math usually means to multiply. So you multiply 4/5 x 7.30, which gives us 5.84

    2. Joe spends $    2.60

    Explanation:
    Again, the word "of" in math usually means to multiply. So, you multiply 0.35 x 7.30, which equals 2.555. We then round 2.555 to 2.60, because you can't have $2.555.

    3. The 3 spend $    15.74

    Explanation:
    Now we know -
    Joe spends $2.60
    Lilly spends $    5.84
    John spends $7.30

    To find the total amount spend, we add all 3 together. 5.84 + 7.30 + 2.60 = 15.74.
