I have no idea
To figure out how much more you spend on almonds than on roasted peanuts, we need to calculate the total cost of each and then find the difference between those two costs.
Let's start with the roasted peanuts. We know that you paid $9.70 for 2.5 pounds. To find the cost per pound, we divide the total cost by the weight:
Cost per pound of roasted peanuts = $9.70 / 2.5 pounds
Next, we need to calculate the total cost of almonds. We are given that you bought 1.4 pounds of almonds for $8.55 per pound:
Total cost of almonds = 1.4 pounds * $8.55 per pound
Now, let's calculate the difference in cost between almonds and roasted peanuts:
Difference in cost = Total cost of almonds - Total cost of roasted peanuts
You can substitute the values we found into the equation to get the final answer.
