Question

At a grocery store, blueberries come packaged in 8-ounce containers for $2.80. At a farmer's market, blueberries cost $4.20 for 14 ounces. There are 16 ounces in one pound. Which statement accurately compares the cost of blueberries?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: C) blueberries are 0.80 per pounds expensive at the farmers market

Answer 2

Grocery Store: Farmer's Market
Cost $2.80 $4.20
Weight 8 oz 14 oz
Unit Cost
Cost ÷ Weight $0.35 per oz $0.30 per oz
1 lb = 16 oz 16 oz 16 oz
Cost per pound
Unit Cost * 16oz $5.60 per lb $4.80 per lb

The blueberries in the farmer's market costs less than the blueberries from the grocery store.

One pound of blueberries from the farmer's market is cheaper by $0.80 than the blueberries from the grocery store. ($5.60 - $4.80 = $0.80)
