Answer:

the 3rd one

Step-by-step explanation:

$3.12÷8=$0.39

$3.06÷9=$0.34

$0.39 is 0.05 more than $0.34

Answer: Third option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of pounds = 8

Cost of bananas = $3.12

Unit rate would be [tex]\dfrac{3.12}{8}=\$0.39[/tex]

Number of pounds = 9

Cost of bananas = $3.06

Unit rate would be [tex]\dfrac{3.06}{9}=\$0.34[/tex]

Difference between two unit rates would be

[tex]\$0.39-\$0.34\\\\=\$0.05[/tex]

so, the rate for the first store is $0.05 per pound more than the second store.

Hence, Third option is correct.
