Answer 1

To find out how much more beans cost per hundredweight (cwt) than apples in 2004, we need to determine the prices of both crops in that year.

From the provided information:

- The price of Apples (Green) in 2004 is $10 per cwt.
- The price of Beans (Green) in 2004 is $25 per cwt.

Now, we can calculate the difference:

\[
\text{Difference} = \text{Price of Beans} - \text{Price of Apples} = 25 - 10 = 15
\]

Therefore, beans cost **$15** more per cwt than apples in 2004.
