Question

The table shows the pricing for four different types of apples. Which type cost the least per kilogram? How do you get the answer?

1. $4 for 1.5 kg
2. $5 for 2.0 kg
3. $7 for 2.5 kg
4. $8 for 2.5 kg

Answer 1

The answer is i dont know, mine was 2.28 (D) but your question looks a little different

Answer 2

Least cost per kilogram is "$5 for 2.0 kg"

Explanation:

To get cost per kilogram, we divide the cost given by the kg given.

1. We need to divide 4 by 1.5 to get cost per kilogram.

Cost/Kg =
`(4)/(1.5)=2.67`

2. We need to divide 5 by 2.0 to get cost per kilogram.

Cost/Kg =
`(5)/(2.0)=2.5`

3. We need to divide 7 by 2.5 to get cost per kilogram.

Cost/Kg =
`(7)/(2.5)=2.8`

4. We need to divide 8 by 2.5 to get cost per kilogram.

Cost/Kg =
`(8)/(2.5)=3.2`

As we can see, the second option costs the least per kilogram.
