Answer:
I think the answer is that Best Market sells strawberries at a higher unit price, and that you would have to pay $5.40 more at that store than the other.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we take a look at the graph, we can see that 1 pound of strawberries is worth 2$. That makes the unit price, or the price of per one unit of the item, 2$ for Fine Foods.
In thd directions, they gave us the equation y = 2.9x for strawberries at Best Market. To find the unit price for Best Market, we would have to substitute x for 1 since x represent pounds, and we're trying to find how much 1 pound costs to find the unit price. It would look like this:
y = 2.9 (1)
y = 2.9
So, the unit price at Best Market would be 2.90$.
Comparing the unit prices, 2.90$ is bigger than &2. So, Best Market sells strawberries at a higher unit price. To find out how much 6 pounds of strawberries at Best Market is, all we have to do is substitute x for 6 in y = 2.9x like so:
y = 2.9 (6)
y = 17.40
So, the price for 6 pounds of strawberries is 17.40$ at Best Market. If we refer to the graph for the cost of 6 pounds at Fine Foods, then we know that 6 pounds of strawberries is 12$. 17.40 - 12 = 5.4. So, you would have to pay $5.40 more for 6 pounds at Best Market than Fine Foods.
It is the first choice. 3 times 5/2 is 15/2 which equals 7.5 and 12 times 5/2 is 60/2 which equals 30. 7.5 times 30.
Your answer would be “ (3-34)”
What in the world is that?
