To determine how much money per pound Suman will save if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand, we need to calculate the difference in price per pound between Sweet Sugar and Super Sugar.
Let's look at the prices per pound for both brands of sugar:
For Sweet Sugar:
- Weight (lbs.): 2.5, Price ($): 0.75
- Weight (lbs.): 15.0, Price ($): 4.50
- Weight (lbs.): 30.0, Price ($): 9.00
- Weight (lbs.): 100.0, Price ($): 30.00
For Super Sugar:
- Weight (lbs.): 3.75, Price ($): 1.16
- Weight (lbs.): 10.0, Price ($): 3.10
- Weight (lbs.): 25.0, Price ($): 7.75
- Weight (lbs.): 110.0, Price ($): 34.10
To find the price per pound for each brand, we divide the price by the weight for each amount:
For Sweet Sugar:
- Price per pound for 2.5 lbs: 0.75/2.5 = 0.3
- Price per pound for 15 lbs: 4.50/15 = 0.3
- Price per pound for 30 lbs: 9.00/30 = 0.3
- Price per pound for 100 lbs: 30.00/100 = 0.3
For Super Sugar:
- Price per pound for 3.75 lbs: 1.16/3.75 = 0.30933333333333335 (approximately 0.31)
- Price per pound for 10 lbs: 3.10/10 = 0.31
- Price per pound for 25 lbs: 7.75/25 = 0.31
- Price per pound for 110 lbs: 34.10/110 = 0.31
We can see that the price per pound for both brands is the same, which means there is no difference in price per pound. Therefore, Suman will not save any money per pound by buying the Sweet Sugar brand.
