ANSWER:  

Ariana wanted to order candy online. Company A is offering the lowest price per pound.

SOLUTION:

Given, Ariana wanted to order candy online.  

Company A is offering 2-pounds of chocolate for $30.25,  while Company B is offering 2-pounds of the same chocolate for $34.00.  

We need to find which company is offering the lowest price per pound?

Let us find the price per pound for company A first.

Cost for two pounds is $30.25.

Then, cost for one pound =

So, company A is selling one pound of chocolate at the rate of $15.125.

Now, let us find price per pound for company B.

Cost for two pounds is $34.00.

Then, cost for one pound =

So, company B is selling one pound of chocolate at the rate of $17.

Now, compare both the rates. $15.125 < $17

Hence, company A is offering the lowest price per pound.

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
