Answer 1

D = $0.38 per pounds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Last month the local YMCA bought 2pounds of French fries for $4.56 for summer camp.

The next month they purchased 12 pounds of French fries for $22.80.

Unit cost per pound for last month is :

`C=(4.56)/(2)=\$2.28\ \text{per pounds}`

Unit cost per pound for the next month is :

`c=(22.8)/(12)=\$1.9\ \text{per pounds}`

Taking difference,

D = C - c

D = $2.28-$1.9

D = $0.38 per pounds

So, the difference that the YMCA during summer camp is $0.38 per pounds.
