A5-1b bag of apples costs $4.00, and an 8-1b bag of the same type of apples costs $6.00. Greg found the unit price, which is the constant of proportionalitybetween cost and weight, for each bag of apples. What is the difference in the unit prices?

Respuesta :

A5-1b bag of apples costs $4.00

so, the unit price is $ 4/5 per apple

And an 8-1b bag of the same type of apples costs $6.00

so, the unit price is $6/8 per apple

So,

The constant proportionality for the first bag

[tex]=\frac{4}{5}=0.8[/tex]

the constant proportionality for the second bag

[tex]=\frac{6}{8}=0.75[/tex]

The difference = 0.8 - 0.75 = 0.05
