A)The quantity in Column A is greater.
B)The quantity in Column B is greater.
C)The two quantities are equal.
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
