Andrei loves to bake, and plum tarts are his specialty. Plums are on sale for $3.25 for 2 pounds at the farmer's market. At the supermarket, plums are being sold according to the following equation, where P is price in dollars and L is pounds.
P=1.75L

Where do plums cost less, at the farmer's market or the supermarket or are they the same?

Farmer's market

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the unit rates for each location

Supermarket

We already know the unit rate, it is given to us in the equation p=1.75L

$1.75 per pound

Farmer's market:

Divide the price by the number of pounds to find the unit rate

price/pounds

3.25/2=1.625

About $1.63 per pound

So, they cost less at the farmer's market

Hope this helps! :)
