Answer 1

0.01364

Explanation:

It is given that,

A store sells a 33-pound bag of oranges for $3.60 and a 55-pound bag of oranges for $5.25.

Price per pound of 33 pound bag is 3.60/33 = 0.10909 price per pound

Price per pound of 55 pound bag of oranges is 5.25/55 = 0.09545 price per pound

Difference between price per pound for the 33-pound bag of oranges and the price per pound for the 55-pound bag of oranges is :

D = 0.10909 - 0.09545

D = 0.01364

Therefore, this is the required solution.
