Question

Nellie is buying bird seed to put in her bird feeders. She uses about 10 pounds of bird seed each week, but has room to store any extra that she purchases.The bird seed comes in 3 different sizes as given below: 3.5 pounds for $2.52 7.5 pounds for $5.40 11 pounds for $7.92 Nellie is trying to be a smart shopper and get the best deal on the bird seed. Which size bag of bird seed should Nellie buy?

d is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

For the answer to the question above, Nellie has to calculate the price per pound for every bag.

1) 2.52 / 3.5 = 0.72 $/lb
2) 5.40/7.5 = 0.72 $/lb
3) 7.92/11 = 0.72 $/lb

Then,  price per pound is the same for any bag. There is no advantage of purchasing one or other, given that she can store any quantity. I hope this helps.
