Answer 1

The difference between the price per pound for the three pound bag of oranges and the price per pound for the 5 lb bag of oranges is $0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price of 3lb bag = $3.60

Price of 5lb bag = $5.25

We have to calculate the per pound price for each bag to compare the per pound price for both

$Price\ of\ one\ pound\ in\ 3lb\ bag=\frac{3.60}{3}\\=\ 1.20$

$Price\ of\ one\ pound\ in\ 5lb\ bag = \frac{5.25}{5}\\=\ 1.05$

$Difference\ between\ two\ prices = 1.20-1.05\\=\ 0.15$

The difference between the price per pound for the three pound bag of oranges and the price per pound for the 5 lb bag of oranges is $0.15
