Answer 1

The price of spices is given in the table.

32.5 pounds of Garlic costs = $92.60

1 pound of garlic costs =
`\$92.60 / 32.5` = $2.8

40 pounds of sage costs = $152.25

1 pound of sage costs =
`\$152.25 / 40` = $3.8

22.5 pounds of ginger costs= $74.50

1 pound of ginger costs =
`\$74.50 / 22.5` = $3.3

42 pounds of basil costs = $125

1 pound of basil costs=
`\$125 / 42` = $3.0

The spices in order from the least to the greatest unit cost in dollars per pound is :

$2.8 , $3.0 , $3.3 , $3.8
