Answer 1

To determine from which stores Nani can purchase 8 cups of fresh pineapple with her $4 budget, we need to consider the unit prices of pineapple at each store. Since the prices are not provided in your question, I will explain how you can calculate which stores are affordable for Nani.

1. Calculate the Total Cost for Each Store: Multiply the unit price per cup by 8 (the number of cups Nani wants to buy).

   • Total Cost = Unit Price x 8

2. Compare Each Store's Total Cost to Nani's Budget: See if the total cost is less than or equal to $4.

For example:

• If Store A has a unit price of $0.50 per cup:

  • Total Cost at Store A = $0.50 x 8 = $4.00 (Affordable)

• If Store B has a unit price of $1.00 per cup:

  • Total Cost at Store B = $1.00 x 8 = $8.00 (Not Affordable)

Repeat these calculations for each store, and select the stores whose total cost is within or below Nani's $4 budget.

Since you didn't provide the specific unit prices of pineapple at the different stores, follow these steps with the prices you have to identify the correct stores from which Nani can buy her 8 cups of pineapple.
