Answer 1

Store T sells apples at the lowest rate

Step-by-step explanation:

1st We need to make every statement in order of 1 pound. Then We will easily find the lowest rate of apple.

i) R sell 1.20 $ per pound.

ii) S sell 4 pounds for 5$

i.e S sell 1 pound for 5/4 = 1.25$

iii) T sell 3 pound for 3.48$

i.e T sell 1 pound for 3.48/3 = 1.16$

Analysing the above data I get,

Store T sells apples at the lowest rate
