To determine which type of grape costs more per pound, we need to analyze the provided information about the costs of red and green grapes.
Given the equation for the cost of red grapes: \[ y = 3x \] This equation indicates that the cost of red grapes (y) is $3 per pound (since x is the number of pounds).
Now, let's look at the cost of green grapes as shown on the graph. Although I can't see the graph, I can guide you on how to interpret it:
- Identify the cost of green grapes for a specific weight (x) by looking at the graph.
- Calculate the cost per pound for green grapes by dividing the total cost by the number of pounds.
If you identify that green grapes have a slope (cost per pound) that is greater than 3, then green grapes are more expensive per pound. If the slope is less than 3, then red grapes are more expensive. If the slope is exactly 3, then they cost the same per pound.
In summary:
- Cost of red grapes is $3 per pound.
- Check the slope of the line for green grapes to compare.
If you provide the specific details from the graph (like data points), I can help you further interpret the cost comparison!
