Food A has fewer calories per serving.
I found this by taking the first food (A) and dividing 150 by 3. This gave me 50, which I added onto 150 to give me my 4/4 of a serving (200 calories).
With food B, I did the same process. I took 250/2 and added that to the original amount to get the final third of the serving, which resulted in food B being 375 calories.
The answer would be 54. Because you start with 2.
2x3 = 6
6x3 = 18
18x3 = 54
Each month it triples so you continue
to add 3 to each result.
For the solution I isolated the variable by dividing each side by factors that don't contain the variable.
x = -6 + ∛2 / 2
x ≈ -5.37003947
Hope this helps!! :3

I believe the total is $211.27.
After doing multiple searches on the internet, I believe that tax rate is a percentage of the product that is added to the total cost.
9 percent of 193.84 is 17.4456, which rounds up to 17.44, and 17.44 added to 193.84 is 211.27.
