To determine how much money per pound Suman will save if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand, we need to compare the prices of Sweet Sugar and Super Sugar per pound.
Looking at the Sweet Sugar table, we can see that for each weight option, there is a corresponding price. For example, for 2.5 lbs of Sweet Sugar, the price is $0.75. Similarly, for 15.0 lbs, the price is $4.50, and so on.
To find the price per pound of Sweet Sugar, we can divide the price by the weight for each option. Let's calculate the price per pound for the 2.5 lbs option:
Price per pound for 2.5 lbs of Sweet Sugar = $0.75 / 2.5 lbs = $0.30/lb
Similarly, we can calculate the price per pound for the other weight options in the Sweet Sugar table.
Next, let's compare these prices per pound with the prices per pound of Super Sugar.
Looking at the Super Sugar table, we can see that for each weight option, there is a corresponding price. For example, for 3.75 lbs of Super Sugar, the price is $1.16. Similarly, for 10.0 lbs, the price is $3.10, and so on.
To find the price per pound of Super Sugar, we can divide the price by the weight for each option. Let's calculate the price per pound for the 3.75 lbs option:
Price per pound for 3.75 lbs of Super Sugar = $1.16 / 3.75 lbs = $0.3093/lb (rounded to four decimal places)
Similarly, we can calculate the price per pound for the other weight options in the Super Sugar table.
Now, compare the prices per pound for Sweet Sugar and Super Sugar. Find the price per pound difference for each weight option by subtracting the price per pound of Sweet Sugar from the price per pound of Super Sugar.
Finally, we need to determine the maximum difference in price per pound among all the weight options. This will be the amount of money per pound that Suman will save if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand.
By analyzing this information, you can calculate the amount of money per pound that Suman will save if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand.
