Type the correct answer in the box. Use numbers instead of words. A 10 -pound bag of nuts costs \( \$ 30 \). What is the cost per pound of nuts? \( \$ \square \) per pound

To find the cost per pound of nuts, we can use the formula: \[ \text{Cost per pound} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total weight in pounds}} \] Given: - Total cost = 30 - Total weight = 10 Now, we can calculate the cost per pound: \[ \text{Cost per pound} = \frac{30}{10} = 3 \] Thus, the cost per pound of nuts is \( \$ 3 \) per pound. So, the answer is: \( \$ 3 \) per pound.
