Answer 2

Answer:

Apricots are less expensive by $2.24 per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of 2 pound of almonds for = $21.98

The cost of 1 pound of almonds = $\frac{21.98}{2}$

                                                     = $10.99

The cost of 3 pounds dried apricots for = $26.25

The cost of 1 pound dried apricots = $\frac{26.25}{3}$

                                                          = $8.75

Difference in cost per pound = 10.99 - 8.75

                                                  = $2.24

Dried apricots are $2.24 per pound less expensive.
