josue bought 7 pounds of pretzels at a local wholesaler for $16.80. his friend ricardo bought 5 pounds of pretzels at the supermarket for $12.75. Ricardo thinks he got the better deal because $12.75 is less than $16.80. Is Ricardo's reasoning correct? Explain why or why not.

Sagot :

(josue) 16.8/7 = $2.4 per lb
(ricardo) 12.75/5 = $2.55 per lb

ricardo is incorrect because if you solve for the price per pound ( price/amount ), josue paid $2.40 for each pound of pretzels while ricardo paid $2.55 per pound. ricardo ended up paying more.
