Anybody want to settle a bet?

Heres the situation:
at Walmart a package of steaks that weighs 3.47 lbs. is originally $5.22 per pound, which means that original price is $18.11 for the package of steaks. A customer want to do a price comparison with a price from a competitor. The new price is $2.47 per pound. How much should the steaks cost now?

If the price is $2.47 per pound, and the weight is 3.47 pounds, then the cost of the item is:

C = (2.47 dollar/pound) * (3.47 pounds)
C = 8.5709 dollars
which is typically rounded to
C = $8.57
