Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We need to find the unit rate in dollars per pound for each store.
2. The unit rate is calculated as the price divided by the weight in pounds.
3. The store with the lowest unit rate offers the best deal.

STEP 2

1. Calculate the unit rate for Happy Grocery.
2. Calculate the unit rate for Sullivan's.
3. Calculate the unit rate for Mother Nature.
4. Compare the unit rates to determine which store offers the lowest rate.

STEP 3

Calculate the unit rate for Happy Grocery.
Unit Rate for Happy Grocery=$3.507 pounds=3.507=$0.50 per pound \text{Unit Rate for Happy Grocery} = \frac{\$3.50}{7 \text{ pounds}} = \frac{3.50}{7} = \$0.50 \text{ per pound}

STEP 4

Calculate the unit rate for Sullivan's.
Given: Price=$110 \text{Price} = \$\frac{1}{10} Weight=18 pound \text{Weight} = \frac{1}{8} \text{ pound}
Unit Rate for Sullivan’s=$11018 pound=11018=110×81=810=$0.80 per pound \text{Unit Rate for Sullivan's} = \frac{\$ \frac{1}{10}}{\frac{1}{8} \text{ pound}} = \frac{\frac{1}{10}}{\frac{1}{8}} = \frac{1}{10} \times \frac{8}{1} = \frac{8}{10} = \$0.80 \text{ per pound}

STEP 5

Calculate the unit rate for Mother Nature.
Unit Rate for Mother Nature=$4.0010 pounds=4.0010=$0.40 per pound \text{Unit Rate for Mother Nature} = \frac{\$4.00}{10 \text{ pounds}} = \frac{4.00}{10} = \$0.40 \text{ per pound}

STEP 6

Compare the unit rates to determine the lowest rate.
- Happy Grocery: \$0.50 per pound - Sullivan's: \$0.80 per pound - Mother Nature: \$0.40 per pound - Farmer's Pride: \$0.45 per pound
The lowest unit rate is \$0.40 per pound at Mother Nature.
Solution: The store with the lowest unit rate for honeydew melons is Mother Nature.
