Answer 1

To determine from which stores Nani can purchase 8 cups of fresh pineapple for $4, we first need to calculate the maximum price per cup that Nani can afford.

Nani has $4 and needs 8 cups of pineapple:

\[ \text{Maximum price per cup} = \frac{\text{Total budget}}{\text{Number of cups}} = \frac{4}{8} = 0.50 \]

So, Nani can only buy from stores where the unit price (per cup) is $0.50 or less.

Next, check the unit prices at each store to see which ones are equal to or below $0.50. Please provide the unit prices for each store (A, B, C, D, E) so I can help you determine which stores Nani can purchase from.
