Carry's pays $37.10 for 3 1/2 pounds of coffee. Ken's pays $60 for 5 1/3 pounds of coffee. 3 Whose coffee costs more per pound? What is the difference per pound in the cost?​

Respuesta :

The coffee costs per pound which cost more between Carry's and Ken's is Ken's coffee at $11.25 per pound

Given:

Carry:

Cost of coffee = $37.10

Number of pounds = 3 1/2 pounds

Unit cost per pound = Cost of coffee / Number of pounds

= 37.10 / 3½

= 37.10 ÷ 7/2

= 37.10 ÷ 3.5

= $10.6 per pound

Ken:

Cost of coffee = $60

Number of pounds = 5 1/3 pounds

Unit cost per pound = Cost of coffee / Number of pounds

= 60 ÷ 5 1/3

= 60 ÷ 16/3

= 60 × 3/16

= (60×3)/16

= 180/16

= $11.25 per pound

Therefore, the difference per pound in the cost is

Ken - Carry

= $11.25 : $10.6

= $0.65
