Answer:
Options A and D are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost y (in dollars) for x ounces of peanuts is represented by the equation
[tex]y=0.23x[/tex] .... (1)
It means the cost of each ounce of peanuts is $0.23.
The cost y (in dollars) for x ounces of pecans is represented by the equation
[tex]y=0.45x[/tex] .... (2)
It means the cost of each ounce of pecans is $0.45.
$0.45 > $0.23
It means the cost for pecans is greater than the cost of peanuts. Option B is incorrect.
[tex]\$0.45-\ $0.23=\$0.22[/tex]
The cost for peanuts is $0.22 per ounce less than the cost for pecans. Option A is correct.
Substitute x=8 in equation (1).
[tex]y=0.23(8)=1.84[/tex]
The cost for 8 ounces of peanuts is $1.84. Option C is incorrect.
Substitute x=8 in equation (2).
[tex]y=0.45(8)=3.6[/tex]
he cost for 8 ounces of pecans is $3.60.. Option D is correct.
