Okay C t s firing math people Second drill up

00:05

Here we go at the local candy store down the

00:08

street Three pounds of a hello kitty Gummy treats cost

00:11

six dollars Forty two cents But at the rival candy

00:14

store way across town five pounds of hello kitty Gummy

00:18

treats cost five dollars Twenty five cents All right we

00:23

have three pounds for six for two and five five

00:25

twenty five What is the difference in the cost per

00:28

00:36

rio announced that hello kitty is not a cat We

01:08

five pounds Cost you five twenty five divided up by

01:10

twenty five by five dollars five pound while way cheaper

Well the problem wants the difference in cost per pound

01:16

and that means we have to subtract the one oh

01:18

five from the two fourteen and that gets us a

01:21

buck nine Yeah wow So way cheaper across town The

01:25

real question is whether it's worth it to drive all
