Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete, as the 8 expressions are not given.
The general explanation is as follows
As complex as an expression may seem, you have to simplify each expression until it cannot be further simplified.
Then you categorize each result, depending on if it equals
or not
Take for instance:

Using law of indices:

---- equivalent

Factorize the numerator


Cancel out 2

Apply law of indices


---equivalent

Express as exponent

Apply law of indices

---- equivalent

Solve exponents

---- not equivalent
Lower quartile (xL): 68
Upper quartile (xU): 88
Interquartile range (xU-xL): 20
The denominator.....i dont really understand the question
Simply divide $10 by 4.5 to get the answer $2.22 per pound (actually the 2's keep repeating.
I guess the store might charge $2.23 since some will round any overage to the next penny.
