Answer 1

The cost per pound for the Gala farms is $1.20 per pound and For the Golden Orchard its $1.05 per pound. Which the Golden Orchard is better since its cheaper and costs 15 cents less.

Answer 2

Golden Orchard is the better buy with a cost of $1.05 per pound, compared to Gala Farms' $1.20 per pound.

The cheapest brand is Golden Orchard.

To determine which brand of apples is the better buy, we need to calculate the cost per pound for each brand.

For Gala Farms, the cost per pound is calculated by dividing the total cost by the weight in pounds:

$4.20 ÷ 3.5 pounds = $1.20 per pound.

For Golden Orchard, we do a similar calculation:

$5.25 ÷ 5 pounds = $1.05 per pound.

Comparing the cost per pound, Golden Orchard offers the cheaper price per pound at $1.05, while Gala Farms has a cost of $1.20 per pound.

Therefore, Golden Orchard is the better buy.

The cost per pound of the cheaper brand, which is Golden Orchard, is $1.05.
