Juanita is saving a $1.00 per pound.... hope I helped 

Answer 2

Answer:

$0.1 per pound stone

Step-by-step explanation:

If Juanita wants to buy 12.5 pounds of stone and a pound of stone is $1.80 She will have to pay:

$=12.5*1.80=22.5$

Juanita will be paying $22.5 for 12.5 pounds of stone.

If the salesman offers her a total price of $21.25, we can determine how much she is paying per pound of stone as:

$21.25/12.5=1.7$

Juanita will be saving:

$1.8-1.7=0.1$

She will be saving $0.1 per pound and $1.25 in total
