ii. What is the difference between the two unit prices?

Respuesta :

Answer:

(i) Farmer's market has best price for watermelon.

(ii) Difference between the two unit prices  = $ 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

(i)  10 pound of watermelon of Kingston market = $3.90

     Rate of 1 pound of water melon = [tex]\frac{3.90}{10}[/tex]

      Rate of 1 pound of water melon = $ 0.39

12 pounds of watermelon of farmers = $4.44.

   Rate of 1 pound of watermelon = [tex]\frac{4.44}{12}[/tex]

   Rate of 1 pound of watermelon = $0.37.

Farmer's market has the best price for watermelon as here 1 pound of watermelon is of $0.37.

(ii) Difference between the two unit prices = Kingston market  price - Farmer's market price.

Difference between the two unit prices =  $ 0.39 - $0.37.

Difference between the two unit prices  = $ 0.02

Thus, the answer is $0.02.
