Answer: Last option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "s" the unit price of the smaller box and "l"  the unit price of the larger box.

According to the information given in the exercise, the smaller one is a 17-ounce box which costs $2.89. Therefore, in order to find the value of "s", you need to divide  $2.89 by 17 ounces. This is:

s=\frac{2.89\ dollars}{17\ ounce}\\\\s=0.17\ \frac{dollars}{ounce}

You know that the larger box has 24 ounces and it costs $3.29.

Therefore, in order to find the value of "l", you need to divide  $3.29 by 24 ounces. This is:

l=\frac{3.29\ dollars}{24\ ounce}\\\\l=0.137\ \frac{dollars}{ounce}

Finally, find the difference:

0.17\ \frac{dollars}{ounce}-0.137\ \frac{dollars}{ounce}=0.033\ \frac{dollars}{ounce} or 3.3\ \frac{cents}{ounce}

Therefore, you can conclude that the larger box is better buy because it is approximately 3.3 cents cheaper per ounce.

Okay so we get: subtract m + 8 from 5m + 11

5m + 11 = 16 + m or 16m

16m - 8 +m or 8m = 8m or 8 + m

PLEASE HELP !!!

Answer:

final cost of 3 pounds: <u>  8 dollars  </u>

final cost of p pounds: <u>   3.75p - 3.25  dollars  </u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Each pound costs $3.75, so 3 pounds cost 3*3.75 = 11.25 dollars. Subtract off the $3.25 to get the final cost to be 11.25-3.25 = 8 dollars. This takes care of the first part.

For the second part, the expression for the final cost is 3.75p - 3.25; where the 3.75p is the cost before the coupon is applied. If you plugged p = 3 into that expression, you should get 8 as a result. The variable p is some positive whole number. It's a place holder for the number of pounds of apples.
