Answer:

1. Lisa purchased almonds for $3.00 and spent $24.90.

The quantity of almonds bought is therefore:

= Total amount spent / Cost per pound

= 24.90 / 3

= 8.3 pounds

2. If the price goes up to $3.50 per pound and the maximum Lisa can spend is $25, the number of pounds she can get is:

= Maximum amount for almonds / Price per almonds

= 25 / 3.5

= 7.14 pounds
