A base quartermaster is reviewing supply orders for the mess hall. Arrange the following provisions by their calculated unit price per pound, from least expensive to most expensive.
- 1$8.50 for 10 pounds of rice
- 2$12.40 for 4 pounds of salt
- 3$18.50 for 5 pounds of flour
- 4$15.00 for 2 pounds of pepper
Cevap
The correct order from least expensive to most expensive unit price is: 10 pounds of rice, 4 pounds of salt, 5 pounds of flour, and 2 pounds of pepper.
To find the correct order, calculate the unit price for each item. Rice is 3.10 per pound, flour is 7.50 per pound. Arranging these unit prices from lowest to highest gives the sequence: rice, salt, flour, pepper.
