Question

A restaurant chef bought potatoes at four different stores. The table shows the amount of the potatoes she bought at each store and the price she paid. Store Price Pounds Bought $6.60 $3.50 $9.75 $4.80 8 Which store has the lowest price per pound for potatoes?

Answer 1

The way to answer this question is to find out the price per pound potato by dividing the amount the restaurant chief paid by the number of pounds bought.

Your question lacks details on the pounds bought in the other stores so I will assume these figures and you can use it as a reference.

Restaurant B - 2 pounds

Restaurant C - 12 pounds

Restaurant D - 5 pounds

Price per pound

Restaurant A = 6.60/8

= $0.83

Restaurant B = 3.50/2

= $1.75

Restaurant C = 9.75/12

= $0.82

Restaurant D = 4.80/8

= $0.96

Restaurant C has the lowest price per pound for potatoes.
