Answer 2

It is given in the question that , Each week a cook purchases 12 pounds of butter. During the last year the cook has paid as little as 23.04 and as much as 29.40 for the butter purchased in a week .

And we have to find the difference between the largest and smallest price per pound .

And for that, first we do the subtraction, that is

`=29.40-23.04=$6.36`

And this is the price difference for 12 pounds of butter.

Therefore price per pound is

`(6.36)/(12) = $0.53`
