Want 100 then plz me on my hw. a grocery store advertises cherries on sale for $2 per pound. at a different store, millie paid $11 for 2 3_4pounds of cherries. how much more did millie pay per pound for cherries than if she had bought them on sale? explain

11 / 2.75 = 4

2 * 2.75 = 5.5

11 - 5.5 = 5.5.

Milliw paid $5.50 more than she would have if she bought them on sale. The work should explain the answer. She spent $11 on 2.75 lbs of cheeries when she could've spent half of that on cherries which were on sale.

divide the cost by the number of pounds she bought to obtain the cost of one pound

11 divided by 2 3/4

since 2 3/4 = 11/4 and 4/11 is the reciprocal of 11/4

11 divided by 2 3/4 = 11 divided by 11/4 = 11 times 4/11 = 4

meaning she bought it at a price of 4$ per pound

then you find the difference between the price she paid from the price they are on sale

4 - 2 = 2
