A grocery store is offering two sales on fruit. Five pounds of grapes cost $3.50. Eight pounds of cherries cost $4.75. You plan to buy 100 pounds of one fruit for a large family gathering. Rounded to the nearest penny, how much money would you save in total on the fruit with the better deal?

Say you have hundred dollars ($100) to spend on fruits$40.60

Given data

5 pounds of grapes cost = $3.50

8 pounds of cherries cost = 4.75

Let us estimate how much 100 pounds of grapes will cost

5 pound = 3.5

100 = x

cross multiply

x =  100*3.5/8

x = 350/5

x = $70

Let us estimate how much 100 pounds of cherries will cost

8 pound = 4.75

100 = x

cross multiply

x =  100*4.75/8

x = 475/8

x = $59.375

A better deal is the deal with the lowest cost per hundred pounds

Hence 100 pounds of cherries is the better

you will save

= 100-59.375

= $40.625

to the nearest penny

= $40.60
