Question

One grocery store sells 8 pounds of bananas for $3.12. Another grocery store sells 9 pounds of bananas for $3.06.

Answer 1

Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pounds = 8

Cost of bananas = $3.12

Unit rate would be $\dfrac{3.12}{8}=\ 0.39$

Number of pounds = 9

Cost of bananas = $3.06

Unit rate would be $\dfrac{3.06}{9}=\ 0.34$

Difference between two unit rates would be

$\ 0.39-\ 0.34\\\\=\ 0.05$

so, the rate for the first store is $0.05 per pound more than the second store.

Hence, Third option is correct.

Answer 2

Answer:

the 3rd one

Step-by-step explanation:

$3.12÷8=$0.39

$3.06÷9=$0.34

$0.39 is 0.05 more than $0.34
