1 answer

To find out how much money per pound Suman will save by buying the Sweet Sugar brand, we need to compare the price per pound of each brand.

For Sweet Sugar:
Price per pound = Total price / Total weight
Price per pound = 30.00 / 100.0
Price per pound = 0.30

For Super Sugar:
Price per pound = Total price / Total weight
Price per pound = 34.10 / 110.0
Price per pound = 0.31

To find the savings, subtract the price per pound of Sweet Sugar from the price per pound of Super Sugar:
Savings = Price per pound of Super Sugar - Price per pound of Sweet Sugar
Savings = 0.31 - 0.30
Savings = 0.01

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