Answer:

  • Peanuts are more expensive
  • Peanuts cost $1 per pound more

Step-by-step explanation:

If 8 pounds of peanuts cost $24 and 6 pounds of walnuts cost half as much, you want to know which is more expensive and by how much.

Price per pound

The price per pound is found by dividing the price by the corresponding number of pounds:

  peanuts = $24/(8 lb) = $3/lb

  walnuts = $12/(6 lb) = $2/lb

Peanuts are more expensive by $3 -2 = $1 per pound.
