Respuesta :

At a store;

PRICE OF GREEN APPLES:

[tex]1.25\text{lbs}\Rightarrow\text{ \$4.00}[/tex]

Then, a pound of green apples cost:

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{4}{1.25} \\ =\text{ \$3.20} \end{gathered}[/tex]

But;

PRICE OF RED APPLES:

[tex]0.8lb\Rightarrow\text{ \#3.00}[/tex]

Then, a pound of red apples cost:

[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{3.00}{0.8} \\ =\text{ \$3.75} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, GREEN APPLES are cheaper.
