Dorian buys 2 pounds of almonds for $21.98 and 3 pounds of dried apricots for $26.25. Which is less expensive per pound? How much less expensive?

The apricots are less expensive per pound.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 pound of almonds = 21.98/2

Cost of 2 pounds of almonds = $21.98

So then you have to do 21.98 - 21.98/2. Which equals $10.99

Cost of 1 pound of dried apricots = 26.25/3

Cost of 3 pounds of dried apricots = $26.25

So then you have to do $26.25 - 26.25/3 which = $17.5 then divide that by 2 which equals $8.75.

To find out how much less expensive you have to find the difference, so to do that you have to do $10.99 - $8.75 = $2.24 per pound less expensive.
