Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Apple B Cost

     Apple A will have the the least per pound price.

 Cost of the different types of the apple have been given as,

  • Apple A → costing $6.90 for 6 lb
  • Apple B → costing $0.90 for 12 oz
  • Apple C → costing $0.45 for [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] lb

For Apple A,

Since, cost of 6 lb = $6.90

Therefore, cost of 1 lb = [tex]\frac{6.90}{6}[/tex] = $1.15

For Apple B,

Since, 1 oz = 0.0625 lb

Therefore, 12 oz = 0.0625 × 12

                           = 0.75 lb

Since, cost of 12 oz = $0.90          

Therefore, cost of 0.75 lb = $0.90

And cost of 1 lb = [tex]\frac{0.90}{0.75}[/tex] = $1.20

For Apple C,

Since, cost of [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] lb = $0.45

Therefore, cost of 1 lb = 0.45 × 4

                                    = $1.80

  Cost of Apple A will be the least with $1.15 per pound.
