Question

Cassie bought 2 apples for $4. Olivia bought 5 apples for $15. How much more money did Oliva spend per apple? Use the dollar sign!

Answer 1

$1

Explanation:

To find out how much more money Olivia spent per apple, we need to find out how much each spent on one apple.

Cassie:

2 apples --- $4

1 apple --- $4 ÷ 2 = $2

Olivia:

5 apples --- $15

1 apple --- $15 ÷ 5 = $3

Difference per apple = $3 - $2

= $1
