5 pounds for $10.95

[tex]5lb=10.95[/tex]

y pounds for $6.57

[tex]ylb=6.57[/tex]

To find the value of y you use the next proportion:

[tex]\frac{y}{6.57}=\frac{5lb}{10.95}[/tex]

Then, y is equal to:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=6.57\cdot\frac{5lb}{10.95} \\ \\ y=\frac{32.85lb}{10.95} \\ \\ y=3lb \end{gathered}[/tex]
