Each week, a cook purchased 12 LBS. of Butter:
During the Last year: (12 Months):
Cook Paid:
Little: $23.04
Much: $29.40, For Butter he or she purchased in a week:
Question: is: what is the Difference between, the Greatest price per pound, and the least price per pound of butter the cook paid within the last year?
EQUATION:
Least Paid / 12 =====> 23.04 /12
Most Paid / 12 ======> 29.40 / 12
Divide:
23.04 / 12 = 1.92 / LB
29.40 / 12 = 2.45 / LB
Now Subtract:
2.45 - 1.92
Answer ======> 0.53 is the difference, between the greatest price per round, and least price per round of butter the cook would have paid within the last year.

Multiply 9 books by 55% by doing
9 x .55 = 4.95
We can't have 4.95 books, though so it rounds down to 4 because you can't just add another .05.
