Answer 1

Each week, a cook purchased 12 LBS. of Butter:

During the Last year:  (12 Months):

Cook Paid:

Little:   $23.04

Question: is: what is the Difference between, the Greatest price per pound, and the least price per pound of butter the cook paid within the last year?

EQUATION:

Least Paid / 12  =====>  23.04 /12

Most Paid / 12  ======>    29.40 / 12

Divide:

23.04 / 12    =     1.92 / LB

29.40 / 12     =     2.45 / LB

Now Subtract:

2.45   -     1.92

Answer   ======>    0.53 is the difference, between the greatest price per round, and least price per round of butter the cook would have paid within the last year.
