Answer:
Elena spent [tex]p-3.45[/tex] more than Taniy
Step-by-step explanation:
LET THE PRICE OF CHERRY PER POUND BE "p" !!!!!
Elena bought a watermelon for = $7.75
Elena bought 3 pounds of cherry for = $3p
Total money spent by Elena = 3p + 7.75
Taniy bought a pineapple for = $4.35
Taniy bought 2 pounds of cherry for = $2p
Total money spent by Taniy = 2p + 4.35
More money spent by Elena than Taniy =
[tex](3p+7.75)-(2p+4.35)\\=>3p+7.75-2p-4.35\\=>3p-2p+7.75-4.35\\=>p-3.45[/tex]
