The difference between the price per pound for the three pound bag of oranges and the price per pound for the 5 lb bag of oranges is $0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Price of 3lb bag = $3.60

Price of 5lb bag = $5.25

We have to calculate the per pound price for each bag to compare the per pound price for both

[tex]Price\ of\ one\ pound\ in\ 3lb\ bag=\frac{3.60}{3}\\=\$1.20[/tex]

[tex]Price\ of\ one\ pound\ in\ 5lb\ bag = \frac{5.25}{5}\\=\$1.05[/tex]

[tex]Difference\ between\ two\ prices = 1.20-1.05\\=\$0.15[/tex]

The difference between the price per pound for the three pound bag of oranges and the price per pound for the 5 lb bag of oranges is $0.15
