Based on the tables showing the price of buying different amounts of two brands of sugar, Suman determined that Sweet Sugar was the better buy based on price alone. How much money per pound will Suman save if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand?

(1 point)

Answer 1

To determine how much money per pound Suman will save if he buys the Sweet Sugar brand, we need to compare the price per pound of each brand.

For Sweet Sugar:
Price per pound = Price ($)/Weight (lbs.)

For Super Sugar:
Price per pound = Price ($)/Weight (lbs.)

Let's calculate the price per pound for Sweet Sugar:
For 2.5 lbs.:
Price per pound = 0.75/2.5 = 0.30

For 15.0 lbs.:
Price per pound = 4.50/15.0 = 0.30

For 30.0 lbs.:
Price per pound = 9.00/30.0 = 0.30

For 100.0 lbs.:
Price per pound = 30.00/100.0 = 0.30

Now, let's calculate the price per pound for Super Sugar:
For 3.75 lbs.:
Price per pound = 1.16/3.75 = 0.31

For 10.0 lbs.:
Price per pound = 3.10/10.0 = 0.31

For 25.0 lbs.:
Price per pound = 7.75/25.0 = 0.31

For 110.0 lbs.:
Price per pound = 34.10/110.0 = 0.31

Therefore, if Suman buys the Sweet Sugar brand, he will save $0.01 per pound compared to Super Sugar.

Answer 2

Use the tables to answer the question.

Go Gas
Gallons of Gas Miles Driven
5.5 170.5
10.2 316.2
12.0 372.0
14.5 449.5
Good Gas
Gallons of Gas Miles Driven
3.75 127.5
9.4 319.6
12.6 428.4
16.0 544.0
Based on the tables showing the number of miles driven per gallon of gas for two leading gas brands, Gabi determines that she should buy Good Gas instead of Go Gas. How many more miles per gallon can she go if she uses gas from Good Gas for her car?

(1 point)

Answer 3

To determine how many more miles per gallon Gabi can go if she uses gas from Good Gas instead of Go Gas, we need to compare the number of miles driven per gallon of gas for each brand.

For Go Gas:
Miles per gallon = Miles Driven / Gallons of Gas

For Good Gas:
Miles per gallon = Miles Driven / Gallons of Gas

Let's calculate the miles per gallon for Go Gas:
For 5.5 gallons of gas:
Miles per gallon = 170.5 / 5.5 ≈ 30.909

For 10.2 gallons of gas:
Miles per gallon = 316.2 / 10.2 ≈ 30.980

For 12.0 gallons of gas:
Miles per gallon = 372.0 / 12.0 = 31.000

For 14.5 gallons of gas:
Miles per gallon = 449.5 / 14.5 ≈ 31.034

Now, let's calculate the miles per gallon for Good Gas:
For 3.75 gallons of gas:
Miles per gallon = 127.5 / 3.75 = 34.000

For 9.4 gallons of gas:
Miles per gallon = 319.6 / 9.4 ≈ 34.043

For 12.6 gallons of gas:
Miles per gallon = 428.4 / 12.6 = 34.000

For 16.0 gallons of gas:
Miles per gallon = 544.0 / 16.0 = 34.000

Therefore, if Gabi uses gas from Good Gas instead of Go Gas, she can go approximately 3.0 more miles per gallon.

Answer 4

0.01 is the answer for the first question

Answer 5

then for the second question, Gabi can go 3 more miles
