Question

A candy store sells caramels and milk chocolate by the pound the table below shows the total cost in dollars for a pound of each type of candy the store sells
Caramels: $9.28
Milk Chocolate: $12.80

How much more is the cost for 1 3/4 pounds of milk chocolate than the cost for 1 3/4 pounds of caramels?

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 6.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The cost of each pounds of Caramels = $ 9.28,

So, the cost of $1\frac{3}{4}$ pounds of caramels = $1\frac{3}{4}\times 9.28$

$=\frac{7}{4}\times 9.28$

$=7\times 2.32$

= $ 16.24,

Now, the cost of each pounds of milk chocolate = $ 12.80,

So, the cost of $1\frac{3}{4}$ milk chocolate = $1\frac{3}{4}\times 12.80$

$=\frac{7}{4}\times 12.80$

$=7\times 3.2$

= $ 22.4,

∵ 22.4 > 16.24,

Thus, the cost of $1\frac{3}{4}$ pounds of milk chocolate  > The cost of $1\frac{3}{4}$ pounds of caramels,

Also, 22.4 - 16.24 = 6.16,

Hence, the cost for 1 3/4 pounds of milk chocolate is $ 6.16 more than the cost for 1 3/4 pounds of caramels.
