Answer:
Option C) 5 pounds of ground beef for $11.50 does not re[present the same price per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Maggie purchased 8 pounds of ground beef for $18.00.
Thus, cost for 1 pound of beef =
[tex]\displaystyle\frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Amount of beef}} = \frac{18}{8} = \$2.25[/tex]
Price per pound = $2.25
Cost of 10 pounds of beef =
[tex]\text{Cost of 1 pound of beef}\times 10 = 2.25\times 10 = \$22.5[/tex]
Cost of 4 pounds of beef =
[tex]\text{Cost of 1 pound of beef}\times 4 = 2.25\times 4 = \$9[/tex]
Cost of 5 pounds of beef =
[tex]\text{Cost of 1 pound of beef}\times 5 = 2.25\times 5 = \$11.25[/tex]
Cost of 2 pounds of beef =
[tex]\text{Cost of 1 pound of beef}\times 2 = 2.25\times 2 = \$4.5[/tex]
Option C) 5 pounds of ground beef for $11.50 does not re[present the same price per pound.
According to $2.25 rate, 5 pounds of beef will cost $11.25 not $11.50.
