The cost of each pineapple juice bottle at Store A is $0.90 more than at Store B.

What is the rate?

The rate is the ratio of the amount of something to the unit. For example - If the speed of the car is 20 km/h it means the car travels 20 km in one hour.

The rate of the pineapple juice bottle at store A is given as,

Rate = $7.32 / 3

Rate = $2.44 per bottle

From the graph, the two points are (10, $15.40) and (20, $30.80). Then the rate is given as,

Rate = ($30.80 - $15.40) / (20 - 10)

Rate = $1.54

The difference between the rates is given as,

⇒ $2.44 - $1.54

⇒ $0.90

The cost of each pineapple juice bottle at Store A is $0.90 more than at Store B.
