Question

Cherries cost $5 for two pounds and $7.50 for 3 pounds. a. What is the cost per pound? b. Is it constant? c. If you were to graph this situation, would you put weight or cost on the x-axis? Which one would you put on the y-axis? d. Plot the two points described e. How much would 5 pounds of cherries cost? What did you do to solve this problem?

Answer 1

I'm stuck on the graphing part it's confusing.

Answer 2

It is Constant. The cost per pound is 2.50 dollars. two would be on the x-axis, and 5 dollars would be on the y-axis. likewise, 3 would be on the x-axis, and 7.50 dollars is on the y-axis. 5 pounds would cost : $12.50
