(1 point)
Suman will save
per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand
To determine how much Suman will save per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand, we need to compare the price per pound for both brands.
For the Sweet Sugar brand, the price (5) for 25 lbs. is stated as $30.00. Therefore, the price per pound for Sweet Sugar is $30.00 / 25 lbs. = $1.20.
For the Super Sugar brand, the price (5) for 25 lbs. is stated as $34.10. Therefore, the price per pound for Super Sugar is $34.10 / 25 lbs. = $1.36.
To calculate per pound savings, we subtract the price per pound of Sweet Sugar ($1.20) from the price per pound of Super Sugar ($1.36):
$1.36 - $1.20 = $0.16
Therefore, Suman will save $0.16 per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand.
To determine how much money per pound Suman will save if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand, we need to compare the price per pound for each brand.
Looking at the "Sweet Sugar" table, we can see that the price (5) for each weight value is as follows:
- For 25 lbs., the price is $75.00
- For 75 lbs., the price is $150.00
- For 150 lbs., the price is $450.00
- For 300 lbs., the price is $900.00
- For 1000 lbs., the price is $3000.00
Now, let's calculate the price per pound for each weight value:
- For 25 lbs., the price per pound is $75.00 / 25 lbs. = $3.00 per pound
- For 75 lbs., the price per pound is $150.00 / 75 lbs. = $2.00 per pound
- For 150 lbs., the price per pound is $450.00 / 150 lbs. = $3.00 per pound
- For 300 lbs., the price per pound is $900.00 / 300 lbs. = $3.00 per pound
- For 1000 lbs., the price per pound is $3000.00 / 1000 lbs. = $3.00 per pound
Now, let's compare this with the "Super Sugar" brand. Looking at the table, we can see that the price (5) for each weight value is as follows:
- For 375 lbs., the price is $115.00
- For 100 lbs., the price is $310.00
- For 250 lbs., the price is $775.00
- For 1100 lbs., the price is $3410.00
Let's calculate the price per pound for each weight value:
- For 375 lbs., the price per pound is $115.00 / 375 lbs. = $0.3067 per pound
- For 100 lbs., the price per pound is $310.00 / 100 lbs. = $3.10 per pound
- For 250 lbs., the price per pound is $775.00 / 250 lbs. = $3.10 per pound
- For 1100 lbs., the price per pound is $3410.00 / 11,00 lbs. = $3.10 per pound
Comparing the price per pound for both brands, we can see that the Sweet Sugar brand has a lower price per pound at every weight value. Therefore, Suman will save $0.10 per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand compared to the Super Sugar brand.
To determine how much money per pound Suman will save if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand, we need to compare the prices per pound of the two brands.
From the table, we can see that the weight of Sweet Sugar varies from 25 to 1000 lbs and the corresponding prices range from $0.75 to $30.00 per 5 lbs.
To calculate the price per pound, we divide the price by the weight in pounds:
For Sweet Sugar:
25 lbs: $0.75 / 5 lbs = $0.15 per pound
75 lbs: $30.00 / 5 lbs = $6.00 per pound
150 lbs: $30.00 / 5 lbs = $6.00 per pound
450 lbs: $0.00 / 5 lbs = $0.00 per pound
300 lbs: $1000 / 5 lbs = $200.00 per pound
1000 lbs: $30.00 / 5 lbs = $6.00 per pound
From the same table, we can see that the weight of Super Sugar varies from 375 to 1100 lbs and the corresponding prices range from $115 to $34.10 per 5 lbs.
To calculate the price per pound, we divide the price by the weight in pounds:
For Super Sugar:
375 lbs: $115 / 5 lbs = $23.00 per pound
100 lbs: $34.10 / 5 lbs = $6.82 per pound
310 lbs: $34.10 / 5 lbs = $6.82 per pound
250 lbs: $775 / 5 lbs = $155.00 per pound
775 lbs: $1100 / 5 lbs = $220.00 per pound
1100 lbs: $34.10 / 5 lbs = $6.82 per pound
By comparing the prices per pound, we can see that the Sweet Sugar brand is $0.15 per pound (for 25 lbs) or $6.00 per pound (for 75 lbs, 150 lbs, and 1000 lbs). Therefore, Suman will save $6.00 per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand.
