1.80 per lb for 100 lbs = 1.80 * 100 = 180
1/10 * 180 = 180/10 = $ 18 <==
To determine price per lb, divide dollar amount by lbs.
- Company A sells 2 1/2lbs (2.5lbs) for $32.50
So, Company A's price / lb = ($32.50/2.5lbs) = $13.00/lb
- Company B sells 2 3/4lbs (2.75lbs) for $35.00
And, Company B's price / lb = ($35.00/2.75lbs) = $12.73/lb
Therefore, Company B is offering the lowest price/lb at $12.73/lb.

Step-by-step explanation:
Negative rate of change just means that the graph is falling. On this one, that's everywhere after x=0.5. The only choice that's completely in that section is the last one.
We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand
5(3+k)=45
Reorder the terms in parentheses
+(+15+5k)=45
Remove unnecessary parentheses
+15+5k=+45
We move all terms containing k to the left and all other terms to the right.
+5k=+45-15
We simplify left and right side of the equation.
+5k=+30
We divide both sides of the equation by 5 to get k.
k=6
