Answer:
Cost of 18 pounds candy = $22.5
Cost of 10 pounds candy = $12.5
Cost of 1 pound of candies = $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
6 pounds of butterscotch candies cost $7.50
⇔ 1 pound of same candy costs $1.25
Now, we need to find the cost of 18 pounds of candy:
as, the cost of 6 pounds candy = $7.50
⇔ Cost of 6 x 3 = 18 pounds candy = $7.50 x 3 = $22.5
Cost of 10 pounds candy = 10 x (Cost of 1 pound candy)
= 10 x ($1.25) = $12.5
The unit rate for butterscotch candies = Cost of 1 pound of candies
= $1.25
