Six pounds of grapes cost $1.69 a pound. Four pounds of strawberries cost $2.19 a pound. A mixture of these grapes and strawberries is available for sale at a lunch buffet.
Quantity A |
Quantity B |
Cost per pound of the mixture |
$2 |
Grapes constitute a majority of the mixture.
Implication:
The cost per pound of the mixture -- Quantity A -- must be closer to the grape price ($1.69) than to the strawberry price ($2.19).
Quantity B ($2) is closer to the strawberry price ($2.19).
Since Quantity B is closer to $2.19, while Quantity A is closer to $1.69, Quantity B must be greater than Quantity A.
