Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that the actual cost of each pineapple is of $2.12

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

In this problem, considering that the waste factor is of 15%, the total price should be of:

P = 0.85 x $14.95 = $12.7075.

For a case of 6 pineapples, hence the price of each is given by:

Pp = $12.7075/6 = $2.12.

Answer 2

The actual cost of each pineapple with a waste factor of 15% is $12.71

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

The cost of one case of fresh pineapples is $14.95 and the calculated waste factor is 15 percent. Hence:

Actual cost = 14.95 - 15% of 14.95 = $12.71

The actual cost of each pineapple with a waste factor of 15% is $12.71
