A) 5/2x^3-9/4x^2+7/2x-3/2
b) the ans. are not the same.
First, find the base rate of both of the numerals, to do this simply divide the price by the number of units.
12.95 divided by 3 is 4.32 ( rounded to nearest cent )
21.45 divided by 5 is 4.29 ( rounded to nearest cent )
So, if you want the better deal ( which is what I've interpreted ), then 5 pounds of nuts is the better deal <u>BY</u> 3 cents.
Hope this helps, if not, comment below please!!!!
3.5 think of it as 3.0
