Question

At the market, 2.4 pounds of carrots cost $1.68 and 1.8 pounds of broccoli cost $1.53. How much more does 1 pound of broccoli cost than 1 pound of carrots?

Answer 1

For calculating that, you have to find the unit rate first;

2.4 pound carrot = $1.68

1 pound carrot = $1.68/2.4 = $0.7

1.8 pound broccoli = $1.53

1 pound broccoli = $1.53/1.8 = $0.85

So, it would be = $0.85 - $0.7 = $0.15

SO, YOUR ANSWER IS $0.15
