The table shows the pricing for four different types of apples. which type cost the least per kilogram? how do you get the answer?
1. $4 for 1.5 kg
2. $5 for 2.0 kg
3. $7 for 2.5 kg
4. $8 for 2.5 kg

Option 2. $5 for 2 kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question if we get per kilogram cost of each kind of apples then we can compare the cost given in the table.

1. $4 for 1.5 kg

So per kg cost of the apples = Total cost / weight of the apples

                                               = 4/1.5 = $2.67 per kg.

2. $5 for 2 kg

Per Kg cost = 5/2 = $2.5

3. $7 for 2.5 kg

Per Kg cost of the apples = 7/2.5 = $2.8

4. $8 for 2.5 kg

Per kg cost of apples = 8/2.5 = $3.2

Now we can say per kg cost of apples is least for the apples costing $5 for 2 kg.Therefore option 2 is the right answer.
