Answer:
Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
At Jerry's Fresh Produce,
Per pound price of apples = [tex]\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total weight of apples}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{10.25}{5}[/tex]
= $2.05
Cost of 7 pounds of apples = 7 × 2.05 = $14.35
At Parson's Market,
Per pound cost of apples = [tex]\frac{11.34}{6}[/tex]
= $1.89
Cost of 7 pounds of apples = 7 × 1.89
= $13.23
At Carlo's Apple Orchard,
Cost of one pound apples = [tex]\frac{15.44}{8}[/tex]
= $1.93
Cost of 7 pounds of apples = 7×1.93
= $13.51
At Ed's Green Grocery,
Cost of one pound of apples = [tex]\frac{18.99}{9}[/tex]
= $2.11
Cost of 7 pounds of apples = 7 × 2.11
= $14.77
By comparing all prices we find at Parson's Market cost of 7 pounds of apples is $13.23
Option B is the answer.
