Question

Last week, Mrs. Grant purchased a 3 pound package of strawberries for $6.84. This week she paid $10.24 for a 4 pound of strawberries. What was the difference in the unit cost per pound that Mrs. Grant paid this week compared to last week?

Answer 1

$0.28 per pound more this week

Explanation:

10.24 divided by 4 is 2.56

6.84 divided by 3 is 2.28

2.56-2.28=0.28 per pound difference.

Answer 2

0.28 cents

Explanation:

6.84÷3=2.28

10.24÷4=2.56

2.56–2.28=0.28
