Ana sells gift baskets of fruit. She sets her prices by charging a fixed price for the basket and another fixed
price for each pound of fruit. The prices Ana charges for various sizes of her fruit baskets are shown in the
table above. How much does Ana charge for each pound of fruit in a basket?
O $3
O $6
O $8

Answer 1

$6

Explanation:

The 5-lb basket for $39 is $60 less than the $15-lb basket for $99. That $60 pays for 10 lbs of fruit, so the cost per pound of fruit is ...

$60/(10 lb) = $6 /lb
