(1 point)
Suman will save $
a
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 calculate the price difference between the two brands for each pound.
For Sweet Sugar:
Price per pound = Price / Weight
Price per pound = $0.75 / 2.5 lbs = $0.30/lb
For Super Sugar:
Price per pound = Price / Weight
Price per pound = $1.16 / 3.75 lbs = $0.3093/lb
To find the difference, we subtract the price per pound of Super Sugar from the price per pound of Sweet Sugar:
Price difference per pound = Price per pound of Sweet Sugar - Price per pound of Super Sugar
Price difference per pound = $0.30/lb - $0.3093/lb
Price difference per pound = -$0.0093/lb
Suman will save -$0.0093 per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand.
However, since we cannot have negative savings, we can conclude that Suman will not save any money per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand compared to the Super Sugar brand.

Apologies for the confusion. Let's calculate the savings correctly.
To find the savings per pound, we need to subtract the price per pound of Sweet Sugar from the price per pound of Super Sugar:
Price per pound of Sweet Sugar = Price / Weight
Price per pound of Sweet Sugar = $0.75 / 2.5 lbs = $0.30/lb
Price per pound of Super Sugar = Price / Weight
Price per pound of Super Sugar = $1.16 / 3.75 lbs = $0.3093/lb
To find the savings per pound, subtract the price per pound of Sweet Sugar from the price per pound of Super Sugar:
Savings per pound = Price per pound of Super Sugar - Price per pound of Sweet Sugar
Savings per pound = $0.3093/lb - $0.30/lb
Savings per pound = $0.0093/lb
Therefore, Suman will save $0.0093, or approximately 0.93 cents, per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand.

To find out how much money per pound Suman will save if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand, we need to compare the price per pound of Sweet Sugar with the price per pound of Super Sugar.
For Sweet Sugar:
Price per pound = Price / Weight
For 2.5 lbs, price per pound = $0.75 / 2.5 lbs = $0.30/lb
For 15.0 lbs, price per pound = $4.50 / 15.0 lbs = $0.30/lb
For 30.0 lbs, price per pound = $9.00 / 30.0 lbs = $0.30/lb
For 100.0 lbs, price per pound = $30.00 / 100.0 lbs = $0.30/lb
For Super Sugar:
Price per pound = Price / Weight
For 3.75 lbs, price per pound = $1.16 / 3.75 lbs ≈ $0.3093/lb
For 10.0 lbs, price per pound = $3.10 / 10.0 lbs = $0.31/lb
For 25.0 lbs, price per pound = $7.75 / 25.0 lbs = $0.31/lb
For 110.0 lbs, price per pound = $34.10 / 110.0 lbs ≈ $0.3100/lb
Now, let's find the savings per pound by subtracting the price per pound of Super Sugar from the price per pound of Sweet Sugar:
Savings per pound = Price per pound of Sweet Sugar - Price per pound of Super Sugar
For 2.5 lbs, savings per pound = $0.30/lb - $0.3093/lb ≈ $-0.0093/lb
For 15.0 lbs, savings per pound = $0.30/lb - $0.31/lb ≈ $-0.01/lb
For 30.0 lbs, savings per pound = $0.30/lb - $0.31/lb ≈ $-0.01/lb
For 100.0 lbs, savings per pound = $0.30/lb - $0.3100/lb ≈ $-0.0100/lb
Based on the calculations, Suman will save approximately $0.0093 per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand compared to the Super Sugar brand.
