Dorian buys 2 pounds of almonds for $21.98 and 3 pounds of dried apricots for $
26.25.Which is less expressive per pound? How much expensive?


Respuesta :

Cost of 2 pounds of almonds = $ 21.98

So, cost of 1 pound will be = [tex]\frac{21.98}{2} = 10.99[/tex]

Cost of 3 pounds of dried apricots = $26.25

So, cost of 1 pound will be = [tex]\frac{26.25}{3} = 8.75[/tex]

So, comparing the two costs, the cost of 1 pound of dried apricot is less than 1 pound of almonds by $2.24
