To determine which type of apple is cheaper per pound, we need to look at the cost per pound for both McIntosh apples (provided in the table) and the cost per pound for Granny Smith apples (which is not included in your message but can be checked in the graph you mentioned).
Based on the information provided for McIntosh apples:
- For 2 pounds, the cost is $3.70, so the cost per pound is \( \frac{3.70}{2} = 1.85\).
- For 3 pounds, the cost is $5.55, so the cost per pound is \( \frac{5.55}{3} \approx 1.85\).
- For 4 pounds, the cost is $7.40, so the cost per pound is \( \frac{7.40}{4} = 1.85\).
The cost per pound for McIntosh apples is consistently $1.85.
To determine which type of apple is cheaper, you would need the cost per pound for Granny Smith apples to compare.
