Question

Justin’s Local Market has the freshest watermelons. The cost is determined based on the number of pounds purchased which is detailed in the table below.

Answer 1

1.4 $/pound

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change of the cost of water melon is expressed as;

Rate of change = C2-C1/p2-p1

Using the coordinates (C, p)

(0,0) and (0.35, 0.25)

Rate of change = 0.35-0/0.25-0

Rate of change = 0.35/0.25

Rate of change = 1.4 $/pound

Hence the rate of change of watermelon is 1.4 $/pound
