To determine which stores Nani can buy 8 cups of fresh pineapple for $4 or less, we need to calculate the total cost at each store based on their unit prices.

Let’s assume the unit prices at the stores are as follows (you will need to replace these with the actual unit prices if they are provided):

  • Store A: $X per cup
  • Store B: $Y per cup
  • Store C: $Z per cup
  • Store D: $W per cup
  • Store E: $V per cup

The total cost to buy 8 cups from each store can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Unit Price} \times 8 \]

Now, for each store:

  1. Store A: $X × 8 ≤ $4
  2. Store B: $Y × 8 ≤ $4
  3. Store C: $Z × 8 ≤ $4
  4. Store D: $W × 8 ≤ $4
  5. Store E: $V × 8 ≤ $4

Simplifying the equation gives: \[ \text{Unit Price} \leq \frac{4}{8} = 0.50 \]

Thus, Nani can buy from any store where the unit price is $0.50 or less.

Please check the prices from the table you referred to and identify the stores that meet this condition. If you provide the actual prices, I can assist with determining which stores are applicable.
