Answer 1

Answer:

Choices A, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

The prices are proportional, so divide any price by the corresponding number of pounds to find the unit cost.

$1.47/(3 lb) = $0.49/lb

The unit cost is $0.49 per lb.

Now we look in the choices to see which choice has a unit price of $0.49/lb.

We divide each price by its number of pounds to fund each unit cost. Every choice with a unit cost of $0.49/lb is an answer.

A $0.98/(2 lb) = $0.49/lb     Choice A works

B $4.45/(7 lb) = $0.64/lb      Choice B does not work

C $2.94/(6 lb) = $0.49/lb     Choice C works

D $0.54/(1 lb) = $0.54/lb     Choice D does not work

E $3.92/(8 lb) = $0.49/lb     Choice E works

Answer: Choices A, C, E
