Suman will save

per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand

Answer 1

To determine how much Suman will save per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand, we need to compare the price per pound for both brands.

For the Sweet Sugar brand, the price (5) for 25 lbs. is stated as $30.00. Therefore, the price per pound for Sweet Sugar is $30.00 / 25 lbs. = $1.20.

For the Super Sugar brand, the price (5) for 25 lbs. is stated as $34.10. Therefore, the price per pound for Super Sugar is $34.10 / 25 lbs. = $1.36.

To calculate per pound savings, we subtract the price per pound of Sweet Sugar ($1.20) from the price per pound of Super Sugar ($1.36):

$1.36 - $1.20 = $0.16

Therefore, Suman will save $0.16 per pound if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand.
