D. Store D: $9.40 for 4 pounds

Answer 1

Answer: B.

Step-by-step explanation: Find how much money you would need to pay for the amount of peaches and compare it to what the storer are offering. The corner grocery store sells for 2.15 per pound. This means that 2 pounds would equal $4.30 using the ratio, which means you can eliminate option A. For 3 pounds the total will be $6.45 which means you can eliminate C. Lastly for 4 pounds, it would be $8.60 which means that you can eliminate D and the answer is B which is true.
