D)The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.


Maria purchased 3 pounds of candy X for $ 7.98

So 1 pound of candy X cost = \(\frac{7.98}{3}\) \(= \frac{8}{3} = 2.6\)

Maria purchased 5 pounds of candy Y for $ 10.95

So 1 pound of candy 1 cost = \(\frac{10.95}{5}\) \(= \frac{11}{5}= 2.5\)

Therefore QTY A > QTY B
