Question: 1 / 400

The price of salmon at a fish market is $5.40 per pound. This is 150% of its cost at a supermarket. How much would it cost per pound at a supermarket?

$4.20

In this question, we are given that the price of salmon at a fish market is $5.40 per pound, which is 150% of its cost at a supermarket. To find the cost per pound at a supermarket, we need to divide $5.40 by 150% or 1.5. This gives us the cost per pound at a supermarket as $3.60. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A is correct because it takes into account the 150% increase from the supermarket cost, while options C and D are incorrect as they do not account for this increase. Option C suggests a higher price than the fish market, while option D suggests a lower price.
