Question

Price Apple Prices Pounds of Store Apples Uerris Fresh Produce Parson's Market 6 $10.25 $11.34 8 Carol's Apple Orchard Ed's Green Grocery $15.44 9 $18.99 For which store would 7 pounds of apples cost exactly $13.51?

Answer 1

First find the unit price of each store

Jerry's fresh produce unit price = 10.25 / 5 = $2.05 per apple

Parson's Market unit price = 11.34 / 6 = $1.89

Carol's apple = 15.44 / 8 = $1.93

Ed's green apple unit price = 18.99 / 9 = $2.1 per apple

Now, find the one that will give $13.51 when you multiplied by 7

$1.93 x 7 = $13.51

Therefore the correct answer is Carol's Apple Orchard
